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.
