{"product_id":"bollinger-pn-ayc21-champagne-gift-box","title":"Bollinger PN AYC21 Champagne Gift Box","description":"\u003cp\u003ePN AYC21 is the seventh edition in Bollinger's PN series - a run of Blanc de Noirs Champagnes, each made entirely from Pinot Noir and each built around a single village. This one belongs to Aÿ, the Grand Cru the house has been based in since 1829, with Premier Cru fruit from Tauxières and Mutigny alongside it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2021 base makes up just over half the blend, layered with reserve wines from 2019 and from magnums of 2012, 2013 and 2014. Half was fermented in old oak barrels and half in stainless steel. The barrels add no oak flavour but let in a trace of air, which builds texture and helps the wine age; the steel adds nothing at all and holds the fruit bright and precise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt then spent three years on the lees, more than twice what the appellation requires. That long contact with the spent yeast is where the brioche and toasted notes come from, and it is what makes the mousse fine and creamy rather than sharp. Dosage is a restrained 8g\/l. 2021 was a cool, exacting year and the south-facing slopes of Aÿ carry it well, giving red apple and quince over a smoky depth, with a chalky, saline finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt makes a confident gift for someone who already knows Bollinger - an Aÿ-led release that rewards the kind of recipient who reads the back label.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bollinger","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":58167774216575,"sku":null,"price":115.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"White","offer_id":58167774249343,"sku":null,"price":115.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0276\/5216\/1623\/files\/Bollinger-PN-75cl-Black.png?v=1760104083","url":"https:\/\/www.fulhamwinecompany.co.uk\/products\/bollinger-pn-ayc21-champagne-gift-box","provider":"The Fulham Wine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
