In contrast to the PN collection, which focuses on terroir, Baie Treise focuses on the year of harvest. A one-off edition created exclusively for the 2013VT.
The secret story behind its birth dates back to 2003. The record-breaking heat has also caused the sugar content of grapes to rise.
While most maisons have given up on Millesime, which requires long ripening with low-acid grapes, Bollinger is one of the few that dares to release it.
The purpose was to preserve the history of record-breaking heatwaves. Ten years have passed since then, and a cold year has arrived, and I once again take on the challenge of preserving history in the narrative.

When tasting it, the attack is delicate and fleeting, and you might not be able to tell it's a Blanc de Noir at first glance. However, after 10 minutes, I took another bite and the score was answered.
It has a silky, silky finish reminiscent of Burgundy Pinot Noir from the 1970s, but the most elegant finish lasts forever.
This unique delicacy and umami flavor cannot be found in Chardonnay, and are definitely characteristics of Pinot Noir that can only be brought out in cold years.
In such a difficult year, the ability of producers is put to the test.
I could see Bollinger's confidence in this work.

Although it is 100% Pinot Noir, the grapes from Montagne de Reims are said to be especially excellent.
Bollinger has its own vineyards in the Vallée de la Marne, including the village of Ay, as well as in the Montagne de Reims, with a total area of 179 ha, of which 85% is Grand Cru or Premier Cru. is.
The taste of B 13 is distinctly fresh, with sophisticated aromas of citrus and yellow fruits, and gourmand notes of tarte tatin and fresh almonds.
When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the dignified minerality of this wine, which brings to mind the tranquil land of the snow-covered Montagne de Reims, celebrating the splendor of winter.
