Description
Bollinger B16 Vintage 2016 is a remarkable expression of a year defined by contrast and resilience. Crafted by the prestigious House of Bollinger, this cuvée reflects the challenges of the 2016 growing season and the expertise required to transform them into a Champagne of exceptional balance and character. Presented in a refined gift box, it is a sophisticated choice for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
The 2016 vintage experienced a difficult start, with a cold, wet spring and late frosts impacting yields, followed by a dramatic shift to a hot, dry and sunny late summer that allowed the grapes to ripen beautifully. Bollinger’s bold focus on the later-ripening terroirs of the Montagne de Reims brings richness and complexity to this cuvée. Aged for over 7 years on the lees and finished with a low dosage of 4g/L, B16 delivers precision, depth and remarkable finesse.

On the palate, a silky texture unfolds with elegance and balance, revealing subtle layers of fruit and freshness. The finish is long, refined and graceful, leaving a lasting impression of purity and sophistication.
