2009 Bollinger SPECTRE LIMITED EDITION Vintage Champagne 2009

Description

Sourced exclusively from Grands crus from the Champagne region, the Bollinger SPECTRE LIMITED EDITION blend is composed of 68% Pinot Noir and 32% Chardonnay. It is produced in small old oak barrels so as not to give the wines the taste of wood or tannins. After bottling, the second fermentation and slow maturing in the cellar occur using cork stoppers to preserve the freshness of the wines while protecting them against oxidation. The Bollinger SPECTRE LIMITED EDITION is the pure expression of Bollinger’s expertise interpreting the 2009 vintage. The expression of the terroir and the aromatic richness are beautifully enhanced in this blend, which perfectly reflects the Bollinger style. To the eye the Bollinger SPECTRE LIMITED EDITION has a deep golden colour, which demonstrates the wine’s maturity as well as Bollinger’s winemaking methods. On the nose the vintage boasts a refined complexity, the expression of the Grands crus’ terroirs. White flowers, citrus fruit, delicately stewed pear with hints of vanilla, toasted aromas, hazelnut and breadcrumbs whilst on the palate: the wine shows a good maturity yet remains quite brisk and lively. We move through candied fruit, mirabelle plum, quince paste and honey with a finish that reminds us of bitter orange. Drink now – 2025.
