Bollinger PN TX20 Blanc de Noirs Champagne 75cl Gift Box
Bollinger PN TX20 is the latest PN (Pinot Noir) release by Bollinger. Each year and release is an expression of a different Cru that highlights the distinctive terroir and taste. The Blanc de Noirs is made from 100% Pinot Noir, designed to make terroir the star of the show.
Tauxières, the dominant cru in the blend of this sixth edition of Bollinger PN, contributes to the wine’s singular character. Located in the Montagne de Reims, this exceptional terroir is ideally suited to growing Pinot Noir which, in Tauxières, brings freshness, elegance, precision, and complexity to the finished wine. Created using a majority of the 2020 base wine, the oldest wines in the blend are 2008 and 2012, which make up more than 35% of the blend - a first for the PN series. Aged for 4 years in cellar, the PN TX20 has a dosage of 8g/l.
Each new edition of the Bollinger PN cuvée brings with it a singular and contemporary vision of the Maison’s terroir and expertise, acting as a symbol of the union between tradition and innovation.
PN TX20 is perfect for passionate wine enthusiasts looking for different expressions of Pinot Noir Champagne. To highlight the Champagne's unique aromas and style, it is best served between 10 and 11 °C. It is cellar aged for twice as long as stipulated by the Appellation. It can be enjoyed now but would benefit from further evolution in cellar.

"93+ points. All the drive of Pinot comes through in this decidedly virile Champagne. As with all the wines in this new series from Bollinger, the NV PN-TX20 is built around a base wine, in this case 2020 Pinot Noir from Tauxières, with 50% reserve wines. The year was characterized by a relatively short cycle of just 87 days from flowering to a harvest that began on August 25" - Antonio Galloni
The winter of 2020 was mild and very rainy, but unseasonably warm conditions encouraged rapid vine growth. Early flowering in May was followed by a hot, dry Summer. Harvest started very early, on the 21st of August.
