Champagne Bollinger Vieilles Vignes Françaises 2013

The 2013 vintage of Bollinger’s legendary Vieilles Vignes Françaises takes the intensity of Pinot Noir and renders it with grace and precision. Golden orchard fruits, ripe peach, and orange oil lead the nose, layered with honeycomb, baking spice, and a subtle saline lift.

On the palate, it’s concentrated yet finely sculpted — full-bodied and richly textured, with a luminous thread of acidity giving energy to its broad, vinous core. The finish is long and savoury, marked by mineral tension and a whisper of sea spray.

More refined than the bold 2008, yet still unmistakably powerful, the 2013 captures the heart of Bollinger: expressive, complex, and deeply rooted in place. A Champagne that balances elegance and strength in perfect measure.
