Description
Bollinger B13 Blanc de Noirs Limited Edition 2013 Vintage (75cl)
The unique signature of the 2013 vintage by Bollinger - a crystalline wine to express the oenological and environmental values held by Champagne Bollinger.
History
In 2013, the Champagne region faced unique weather conditions with a long winter punctuated by snow and frost.
Despite these turbulent circumstances, Champagne Bollinger shaped the wine from this particularly late harvest into a vintage, and by doing so, also made a limited edition : B13, which stands for Bollinger 2013.
It's thanks to the ethical farming practices that Bollinger employs in the vineyard that the Champagne House constantly benefits from undeniably high-quality grapes, no matter how difficult certain years can be.
This vintage Blanc de Noirs champagne embodies the excellence of the Bollinger vineyards on the Montage de Reims, and is a tribute to Bollinger's œnological and environmental values.
The 100% recyclable case, made of mostly recycled materials, reflects the multiple qualities of this limited edition to express the uniqueness of both the vintage's signature and Bollinger's vision.
