The house’s signature blend, majority Pinot Noir with Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier, and aged longer on its lees than most non-vintage champagnes before release for extra depth. Orchard fruit and brioche lead on the nose, with a rich, full-bodied character on the palate that sets Bollinger apart from lighter houses. The finish is long and savoury rather than simply fruity. A serious, food-friendly champagne built for drinking alongside a meal rather than a light aperitif pour.
