Details
BOLLINGER VIEILLES VIGNES FRANCAISES
Vielles Vignes Françaises is a unique Blanc de Noirs cuvée produced exclusively from three named sites unaffected by phylloxera, Clos St-Jacques and Chaudes Terres in Aÿ and Croix Rouge in Bouzy. The vines are ungrafted and planted in the old-world marcotage method with yields kept extremely low and grapes are not picked until extremely ripe. Indeed, production across the three vineyards would normally produce up to 8000 bottles annually, but the pruning techniques, dense planting and ungrafted vines combine to restrict production to a scant 3000 bottles of this massive Champagne.
