Bollinger B16

Bollinger B16
The Bollinger B16 is a vintage Champagne from the 2016 harvest – one of the warmest and ripest years in Champagne in recent memory. Bollinger, family-owned since 1829 and known for its Pinot Noir-focused style, uses extended lees aging and maturation in old oak barrels for the B16.
The glass reveals aromas of white stone fruit, brioche, and a hint of roasted hazelnut – typical of Bollinger's oxidative winemaking style. The acidity is present but integrated; the finish is long and spicy. Ready to drink now until 2032+.
Pairs well with lobster, seared scallops with butter sauce, or mature Comté cheese. Serving temperature: 10–12 °C.
Bollinger is not a champagne that explains itself – it reveals itself. Since 1829, the house in Aÿ has operated according to the same principles: meticulous craftsmanship, Pinot Noir at its core, and maturity as a mark of quality.
What sets Bollinger apart from many others: The wines are vinified in genuine oak barrels – a process that hardly anyone else undertakes anymore. Riddling and disgorging are done by hand. No shortcuts, no simplifications.
Whether the approachable Special Cuvée or the legendary Vieilles Vignes Françaises from pre-phylloxera vines – there is real attitude in every glass.
