Heiner Lobenberg om:
Champagne PN AYC 18 Blanc de Noirs Brut

94–95+
/100

AYC er en del af Village-vinserien, som blev skabt af den afdøde kældermester Gilles Descôtes. AYC er baseret på Grand Cru Ay, så alt drejer sig naturligvis om Pinot Noir. Cirka halvdelen består af 2018- og reservevine, som overvejende er flaskelagrede vine fra Bollingers dybe kældre. Basisvinene er lagret 50/50 i træ og rustfrit stål. Degorgeret med 6 gram dosage, så ikke ekstremt tør. Vinen viser den fulde pragt af Ay, nemlig kombinationen af silkeagtig tekstur og spændende, salt mineralitet. Krydret, med kirsebær, dyb og kraftfuld, er den et arketypisk udtryk for dette rige, men glimrende mineraliserede område. En vidunderligt afbalanceret allrounder med en forkærlighed for storhed. 94-95+/100

Parker om: Champagne PN AYC 18 Blanc de Noirs Brut

Based on the 2018 vintage, complemented by reserve wines aged in magnum dating back to 2009, Bollinger's newly released NV Brut Blanc de Noirs PN AYC18 was disgorged this year with six grams per liter dosage. Foregrounding the village of Aÿ, a commune crucial to Bollinger's distinctive style, the wine wafts from the glass with aromas of golden orchard fruit, honeycomb, buttered toast, freshly baked bread and dried white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, pillowy and vinous, with an ample core of fruit that's girdled by lively acids and animated by an elegant pinpoint mousse, this suave, charming Champagne concludes with a chalky finish. This has turned out beautifully. 94/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Champagne PN AYC 18 Blanc de Noirs Brut

Including the 2018, 2017, 2016, and 2009 vintage, the pale straw-copper hued NV Champagne PN AYC18 opens with stunning notes of jasmine and tropical flowers, followed by pure and expressive aromas of wild cherry, fresh orange, wet stone, and fresh roses. Full-bodied, with freshness throughout and a hint of warmth on its beautiful finish, this is the most successful of the wines from this line that I have tasted to date, offering fantastic length and gorgeous depth of fruit. It’s going to only improve with another few years in bottle, but it’s gorgeous now. Drink 2024-2034. Dosage 6 grams per liter. 93+/100

Decanter om: Champagne PN AYC 18 Blanc de Noirs Brut

The fourth edition of Bollinger's limited PN series is the most expressive yet, with a hugely satisfying, expansive character. Dried pear, stewed Bramley apple and nectarine melt into the depths of reserve wine complexity, with chestnut honey and perfectly pitched savoury interest. It's surprisingly silky, the texture surprisingly weightless, the shape rounded and cushioned rather than strict or driving. A highly rewarding Champagne, ready to drink but with interesting potential to evolve over the next five years. 100% Pinot Noir, predominantly from Aÿ, with support from the villages of Tauxières and Verzenay. Based on the 2018 vintage, with 50% reserve wines back to 2009. 93/100

Wine Spectator om: Champagne PN AYC 18 Blanc de Noirs Brut

Mouthwatering and finely meshed, with density to the satiny texture, this marries bright acidity with flavors of ripe white cherry, biscuit, pickled ginger and candied grapefruit peel. Opens slowly on the palate, revealing layers of fragrant spices, mineral and dried flowers on the finish. Disgorged January 2023. Best from 2025 through 2033. 900 cases imported. 93/100
