Bollinger B13 2013

Bollinger B13 is a 2013 vintage Pinot Noir Champagne that again showcases the excellence of their grapes and wine-making - especially in challenging year such as 2013.

In 2003, a unusually hot vintage for the region, Bollinger felt the wines were not stylistically suited to their classic vintage Champagne, La Grande Année. Nevertheless, they wanted to show such a unique vintage, and instead released "2003 by Bollinger".

10 years on, 2013 was unusually cool in spring and a very late harvest. Again, Bollinger opted for a special release: B13. Seven years on lees gives an abundance of toasty, coffee-like notes that enrich the otherwise lighter weight of lemon compôte fruit and subtle herb notes. A complex, graceful style.
