Bollinger B13 Blanc de Noirs – 750ml

2013

95pts – James Suckling
This limited edition Blanc de Noirs from the 2013 vintage is characterized by its freshness and precision, and is composed of 100% Pinot Noir, predominantly from Bollinger’s ancestral home of Äy. After a vintage of challenging weather conditions in Champagne, B13 rises to the occasion; a beacon of Bollinger’s oenological finesse and innovative environmental practices. B13 has an utterly distinctive profile, expressing candied lemon, citrus peel and orchard fruit on the nose, with subtle aromas of tarte tatin and crushed almond. Tension and minerality define the palate with Bollinger’s signature freshness and precision, and lingering salinity on the finish.
