Champagne Bollinger “B13”

Description

The reflection of a unique year: The Champagne region faced unprecedented climate conditions in 2013 with a long winter that brought snow and frost, a mild and wet spring followed by a scorching summer peppered with violent storms. Despite the inclement weather, Champagne Bollinger raised the wine produced from this harvest to the rank of vintage, creating a limited edition: B13.

To the eye, a colour with golden shimmers. To the nose, this vintage is rich and complex on the nose. It opens with notes of ripe fruits, fruit jellies and almond paste, rounded off with aromas of mirabelle plum and vine peach. On the palate, a generosity and elegant fruit with flavours of pear, fresh almonds and tarte tatin are marked by the chiselled, mineral expression of pinot noir bringing citrus and candied lemon notes. Velvety persistence with a saline hint on the finish.
