Champagne Bollinger Vieilles Vignes 2013 Ξύλινη κασετίνα

The Vieilles Vignes Françaises are deeply intertwined with the legacy of Champagne Bollinger. These ungrafted vines hold a nearly forgotten memory: a remarkable heritage that harkens back to pre-phylloxera Champagne. The legendary plots of Les Chaudes-Terres and Clos St Jacques in Aÿ are the sacred grounds of the House of Bollinger’s Old French Vines. These two miraculous sites, classified as Grand Cru, are densely planted and nurtured using the ancient method of provignage.

Vieille Vignes Françaises 2013 is a pure expression of 100% Pinot Noir Grand Cru, exclusively crafted from the harvest of these two iconic vineyards located near the House in Aÿ: Les Chaudes-Terres and Clos St Jacques.

This wine dazzles with a deep golden hue. Its bouquet reveals enticing aromas of quince paste, plum, and fresh hazelnut, complemented by notes of candied lemon zest and sweet spices. A harmonious blend of luscious fruit and nutty nuances, particularly almonds, unfolds on the palate. The experience is full-bodied, powerful, and vibrant, culminating in a saline finish that lingers beautifully.

The grapes from this vintage showcase impeccable quality, resulting in an intense and refreshing 2013 edition of the Vieilles Vignes Françaises.
