The PNTX20 edition is an outstanding symbol of Bollinger's vision. The name is composed of "PN" for Pinot Noir, "TX" for the Tauxières terroir, and "20" for the base year, 2020. This cuvée is not a vintage champagne in the traditional sense, but rather a blend: This champagne combines wines from the 2020 harvest (48%) with an exceptionally high proportion of mature reserve wines (52%). The latter come from the 2019 vintage, which was aged in wooden barrels, as well as from 2008 and 2012, and are aged in Bollinger's legendary magnum bottles. This unique composition gives the champagne remarkable complexity, depth, and structure. Tauxières, a Premier Cru of the Montagne de Reims with an outstanding reputation, produces Pinot Noir grapes characterized by freshness, precision, and complex aromas.
The cuvée is complemented by wines from other renowned crus such as Aÿ and Avenay, which add further complexity to the character.
