Pinot Noir is one of the key pillars of the Bollinger style and the Maison has built its reputation by showcasing this grape variety. The PN cuvée is the result of research into the different styles of Pinot Noir and its different origins in Champagne. It represents a continuation of the Maison's heritage and an affirmation of the legendary Bollinger style, while also being a wine that reinvents itself year after year. In this way, each new edition offers a new interpretation of Maison Bollinger's vineyards and savoir-faire.
