Champagne PN TX 20 Blanc de Noirs Brut 2020

94–95
/100

En karakterfuld champagne, som altid hos Bollinger, selv om det er helt nyt materiale. 100 procent Pinot Noir, overvejende fra kommunen Tauxières (TX), som ligger mellem Grands Crus Aÿ og Bouzy. Denne champagne kombinerer vine fra 2020-høsten (48%) med en usædvanlig høj andel af modne reservevine (52%). Sidstnævnte kommer fra 2019-årgangen, som blev lagret på træ, samt fra 2008 og 2012 - modnet på gæren i magnumflasker. Omkring 8 gram dosage. Intens, meget stump næse med slåen, solbær, bagt æble, saltet karamel og mandelcreme. Saftig og med høj spænding i munden. Ikke nødvendigvis alles darling med sine salte, syrlige, mørke Pinot Noir-aromaer og skarpe mineralitet. Bollinger forbliver tro mod deres stil med de nye lokale specialvine.

Decanter om: Champagne PN TX 20 Blanc de Noirs Brut

Bolinger's PN series has only gained in popularity, showcasing the house's expertise with Pinot Noir. For the latest edition, the house has reverted to the lesser-known Pinot Noir premier cru of Tauxières in a cool pocket of the southern face of the Montagne de Reims, comprised once more of just under half of the base year plus reserves from 2019 and 2018, and reserves from 2012 and 2008 aged in magnum. At first it's full of the exuberant pink-tinged fruit of the ultra-ripe, hot season; juicy raspberry and sweet apricots, rounded and approachable. Both the cool, chalky restraint of the village and the added shot of smoky, charry, honeyed richness of the reserve wine – not to mention the acid focus of the 2008 and 2012 – elevate it dramatically, leaving the wine with no lack of drive and refreshment factor. This is another highly imaginative, rewarding release, a little less mineral and restrained than the PN VZ 19, yet just as layered.

Wine Spectator om: Champagne PN TX 20 Blanc de Noirs Brut

An enticing waft of fragrant spices draws you into the glass, where ripe and juicy black cherry and currant fruit is underscored by a clean swathe of underlying salinity. Details of pickled ginger, crystallized honey, biscuit and white blossoms expand nicely on the plush mousse, which is raw silk–like in feel. This is rich and expressive, with good depth, yet its chiseled acidity provides fine definition throughout. Mouthwatering finish. Disgorged February 2025. Drink now through 2035.

Galloni om: Champagne PN TX 20 Blanc de Noirs Brut

The NV PN-TX20 is a powerful, tightly wound wine. All the drive of Pinot comes through in this decidedly virile Champagne. As with all the wines in this new series from Bollinger, the NV PN-TX20 is built around a base wine, in this case 2020 Pinot Noir from Tauxières, with 50% reserve wines, half of them from Bollinger's extensive library of reserve wines aged in magnum. This is an especially vinous Champagne, one that needs at least a year or two in bottle to unwind. The year was characterized by a relatively short cycle of just 87 days from flowering to a harvest that began on August 25. Dosage is 8 grams per liter. Disgorged: January, 2025.

Jeb Dunnuck om: Champagne PN TX 20 Blanc de Noirs Brut

Pouring a pale silver/yellow color, the NV Champagne Pinot Noir TX20 is representative of the fruitiness of the vintage and the purity of the citrus, with notes of white grapefruit, hazelnut, and fresh bread dough. It's a fresh expression that doesn't get the toastiness you might expect, but has the fruitiness and a frothy, bubbly mousse. It will most likely benefit from another year. Based on 2020 for half the cuvée, the other half is reserve wine.

Parker om: Champagne PN TX 20 Blanc de Noirs Brut

Named after the village of Tauxières, from which it takes its abbreviation, the new NV Blanc de Noirs PN TX20 contains 40% fruit sourced from Tauxières, and the remaining composition draws largely from Aÿ-Champagne and Avenay-Val-d'Or. This cuvée is based on the 2020 vintage (48%), complemented by reserve wines from 2019 (stored in tank) as well as 2012 and 2008 (both aged in magnums). Disgorged in February 2025 with a dosage of eight grams per liter, it bursts from the glass with expressive aromas of ripe pear, tangerine peel, clove and brioche. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, broad and textural, with lively acidity and a generous core of fruit. The finish is expansive, though a subtle sweetness emerges, lending the impression of being one of the least dry expressions among the house’s Pinot Noir Champagnes. Vinified equally in stainless steel and oak barrels, approximately 80% of the fruit for this cuvée is sourced from Bollinger’s own vineyards.
