    Overview

    Bollinger B16


    This brilliant new Champagne, only the 2nd edition in the "By Bollinger" series : unique creations shaped by nature and the climate conditions of a singular vintage - 2016. 

    The B16 Story:
    Bollinger presents B16, a unique and original creation shaped by nature's challenges, an illustration of the Maison's expert know-how when crafting a great vintage Champagne.

    Born from an atypical year of contrasting weather conditions, 2016 - a daring creation composed of more than 70% Pinot Noir - explores the unique aroma profiles to be found in the terroirs of the Montagne de Reims.

    A unique journey of the senses, it is ethereal and suffused with finesse; a discovery of subtle aromas of white peach and bergamot, before it opens out into notes of ripe fruit and sweet almond.

    Purity, without compromise.

    Winemaking:
    Blend: 73% Pinot Noir - 27% Chardonnay

    Exclusively made from Grands and Premiers Crus, focussing on the latest-ripening areas of the Montagne de Reims.

    Vinification: in barrel, aged under natural cork.
    Ageing: 7 years on the lees. Riddled and disgorged by hand.

    Dosage: Extra-brut, 4 g/l.

    Tasting Notes:
    Crystal clear, glimmering with flickers of golden light.

    On the nose, delicate floral aromas interlace with scents of hawthorn and acacia honey in a display of the bouquet's infinite finesse. Accents of ripe stone fruits and bergamot bring a lively freshness, before opening into notes of ripe fruit, sweet almond, and yellow skinned fruit.

    On the palate, a silky texture unfolds with ethereal finesse, bringing subtle elegance and perfect balance. The finish is both long and delicate.

    Perfect Pairings:
    Starter: Langoustine tartare with confit celery, lime and sesame oil, Thai basil.
    Main: Dill steamed sea bass, nori hollandaise, lemongrass, white curry.
    Cheese: Herby Tomme de Brebis, cherry jam, white bread.
    Dessert: Fresh raspberries, lime syrup, and ginger.
