{"title":"Bollinger's \"Oh wow!\" (AK) Latest Blanc de Noirs: PN AYC21","description":"\u003cp\u003eBollinger's PN series began in 2020 with a single idea: showcase Pinot Noir from one village, make a blanc de noirs of absolute precision, and let the place speak for itself. This new release, the PN AYC21, focusses on Aÿ - the grand cru village at the heart of Bollinger's world - and the 2021 vintage has bestowed upon it real tension and verve in the glass. A classy Champagne in every sense, and one that every aficionado of the maison should tuck away in their cellar.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2021 was cool and exacting, giving the wine a tautness and nervous energy that makes it as interesting to cellar as it is to drink now.
