bollinger b16 champagne

When 2016's challenging conditions prevented Bollinger from producing their celebrated Grand Année, they responded with B16—a masterfully crafted alternative that proves constraints breed excellence. This limited-edition champagne showcases 73% Pinot Noir and 27% Chardonnay in perfect harmony, delivering an elegant, refined experience that rewards the discerning palate. Ethereal floral notes mingle with hawthorn, acacia, and honeyed complexity, while ripe stone fruit and bergamot provide vibrant freshness. The wine's linear structure ensures remarkable length and sophistication on every sip. For collectors seeking something truly distinctive, B16 represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of champagne history—a vintage born from adversity that transcends its unconventional origins.
