Stumbled upon this almost by mistake whilst drinking the other Bollinger (La Grande Annee 2015) on a BA F flight. I must admit I don’t think I’ve had a BdN before (plenty of BdBs though). And as a big Pinot Noir fan, I had to try it and was@not disappointed. Loved it, more than the vintage one if I’m honest. Felt it had a bit more structure/depth. Now looking around to see if I can find a bottle (around £98) but it’s pretty limited. — 6 months ago

I love champagne, but the only thing I love more than champagne is free champagne. Was this great because it’s great, or was it great because it was free and unlimited? Does it matter? Super rich and toasty, but still maintains a bright acidity and freshness. I definitely get the classic brioche note, along with apple and citrus. Feels more complex and has more depth than some other champagnes I have tasted. Super crisp and refreshing, but has a richness that makes it feel indulgent. — 20 days ago

I’m at 92-93 here, but this is absolutely going to improve. I should have bought more than just a couple!

Paul Dethune champagnes are quickly becoming a favorite of mine. This cuvée is 50/50 (Pinot noir/chard), with 30% coming from their Solera dating back to the 70s.

I’ve said that I feel Petit & Bajan are the equivalent of Bollinger Special Cuvée in grower form, but I stand corrected. THIS is Bolly SC with a grower champagne vibe. Gold in the glass. Aromatics of lemon cream, lemon croissant, golden raspberries, and honeycomb. On the palate, it has the toasted Bolly profile but it’s dialed back a touch…feels more focused. Less expansive, but there’s added power here. Beautifully balanced with the sweet (the fruit, not the dosage) and savory (honey roasted cashews, sea salt). Imagine Bolly SC and a CHeidsieck Blanc de Blanc…you’ve got this. Loved it. — 2 years ago

Here we are again. It’s a 2004 rose and this is just amazing. Why oh why did I just buy a case of this and not more? Shame on me. This is a spectacular champagne that keeps over-delivering — 2 months ago

The Bollinger PN was crafted to show the beauty of Pinot Noir. They succeeded. Beautiful cuvée that shows no weaknesses start to finish. Wire to wire, no peaks or valleys. — 2 years ago
