Falstaff - 99
Bollinger Vieilles Vignes Françaises 2013 is a true rarity in the world of Champagne – a wine that celebrates the original heritage and authenticity of the Champagne region. Crafted exclusively from 100% Pinot Noir grapes, this extraordinary cuvée comes from two small, historic vineyard plots – Les Chaudes Terres and Clos Saint-Jacques – which survived the phylloxera crisis and are still cultivated using the traditional franc de pied method, without grafting.
The 2013 vintage was marked by challenging conditions, yet it yielded grapes of remarkable concentration and character. The result is a Champagne of rich golden color, with fine and persistent bubbles that lead into a multi-layered aromatic profile.
Notes of quince, mirabelle plum, candied lemon peel, hazelnuts, and delicate spices intertwine with hints of tonka bean and ripe stone fruit. On the palate, it is full-bodied, powerful, and incredibly vibrant, with pronounced freshness and a refined mineral touch that lingers long after the last sip.
