Heiner Lobenberg om:
Champagne B16 Extra Brut 2016

96
/100

B16 er en begrænset specialudgave fra Bollinger, en årgangschampagne fra 2016-høsten, som blev frigivet i 2025. Den har ligget syv år på gæren og er blevet ridset og degorgeret i hånden, hvilket allerede indikerer den lille mængde. Doseringen er ekstra brut, dvs. meget tør med mindre end 6 g/liter. To tredjedele Pinot Noir og en tredjedel Chardonnay fra Premier og Grand Cru-områder i Montagne de Reims. Aromaen er kompleks, flerlaget og - typisk for Bollinger - mørk, nellikepeber og brombær med mandelstøv og sort brød. Utrolig elegant, delikat, på trods af den klassiske Pinot-dominans i Bollinger, er den hurtig og frisk, næsten dansende på ganen. Den faste, markante, kridtagtige struktur tager fart igen i slutningen, men forbliver også meget subtil og delikat. Dette er ren underdrivelse og en af de bedste årgange fra det udfordrende år 2016.

Suckling om: Champagne B16 Extra Brut

A sophisticated champagne with extremely refined character and linear phenolics that give it length and class. It's medium-bodied with grapefruit and apples as well as pie crust. Bright acidity at the end. A blend of 72% pinot noir and 28% chardonnay. Dosage 4 g/L. Drink or hold.

Wine Spectator om: Champagne B16 Extra Brut

A rich range of black cherry coulis, grilled macadamia nut, poached peach, and crystallized honey and ginger is seamlessly knit with racy acidity and a chalky underpinning in this statuesque Champagne. Upon first sip, the graceful integration belies the depth and focus, but as this expands on the long, long, creamy finish, adding hints of lime blossoms, tangerine peel, graphite and brioche, all of its many attributes are on full display. Disgorged November 2024. Drink now through 2036.

Galloni om: Champagne B16 Extra Brut

The 2016 B 16 is a small bottling from Bollinger that takes the place of the Grand Année, as conditions did not allow Bollinger to bottle their flagship cuveé. Brisk floral top notes give this mid-weight, expressive Champagne a good deal of immediacy. The blend is 73% Pinot Noir and 27% Chardonnay, with the Chardonnay very much in evidence. Dosage is 4 grams per liter. Disgorged: November 2024.

Decanter om: Champagne B16 Extra Brut

In 2013, Bollinger did not release a Grande Année but did offer its B13, a single-vintage take on a year considered atypical for the Bollinger style. The concept is repeated in the tricky but ultimately fine quality 2016 harvest with the B16. It presents a relatively delicate, cool and understated vintage relative to the Grande Année. The ripeness of the Pinot Noir is certainly present in the juicy stewed apricot and fresh raspberry fruit, but Chardonnay here brings gentle orchard fruit and fresh grapefruit zest beneath subtle richness of toasted nut and oyster shell complexity from ageing. While Grande Année offers more intensity and drama, and the latest PN series offers dynamism and youthful energy, B16 is perfectly pitched between smooth maturity and approachable brightness, all at a temptingly moderate premium over the non-vintage cuvée.
