$835.09The Story
A total of 31 ares of pinot noir, split over 2 parcels chosen for their geology and perfect exposure. Close to Maison Bollinger, the surrounding walls of the Clos Saint-Jacques and Clos Chaudes-Terres appear to protect the vines from the invasion of phylloxera.
The Vieilles Vignes Françaises are aptly named. The two clos protect some of the few remaining ungrafted French vines still farmed. Tucked away at the top of the village of Aÿ in Champagne, these historic parcels carry the soul and flavour of eternal Champagne. This is why Bollinger has chosen to continue making this champagne in the purest tradition of the Champagne region.
98 Points - James Suckling
Dense and layered with enormous depth and mouthfeel plus a surprising amount of flavor and class. It's medium- to full-bodied with phenolics that frame the wine. Subtle salted butter, croissants and hints of mangoes and strawberries. A few thousand bottles made from two parcels of pinot noir. Drink now.
