Bollinger PNTX 20 GP
Not a classic vintage Champagne, but a terroir study: PNTX20 stands for Pinot Noir (PN), the Premier Cru village of Tauxières (TX), and the base year 2020. Bollinger builds the cuvée on an unusual ratio – 48% wines from the 2020 harvest, 52% reserve wines.
These reserve wines are what make them special: The 2019 vintage matured in wooden barrels, while the 2008 and 2012 vintages were aged in Bollinger's magnum bottles. This results in a dense aromatic structure with ripe fruit, nuttiness, and the finesse of extended bottle aging.
Tauxières provides the foundation: precise, fresh Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims, complemented by wines from Aÿ and Avenay. Pairs well with poultry with jus, scallops, or strong hard cheeses.
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.
