Here is the gorgeous ‘PN AYC18’ champagne by Bollinger.

Cellar Selection: 2018 Bollinger 'PN AYC18' Champagne

February 20, 2025

When I was in Paso Robles I had the chance to visit one of my favorite restaurants in California, Les Petites Canailles which exemplifies top class French food. On their wine list I ordered a gorgeous wine by Bollinger, featuring the warm 2018 vintage, Bollinger ‘PN AYC18’ Champagne. I was really looking for a big and bold champagne and this did the trick — particularly pairing beautifully with a fresh oyster appetizer.

The ‘PN AyC18’ is a 100% Pinot Noir wine, predominantly from the Aÿ cru. It is blended with other villages on the Montage de Reims, such as Tauxières and Verzenay. I love great Pinot Noir champagnes and this is absolutely one of them. For those who enjoy a bigger style of champagne, I suggest you try this bottling. Check out my review of the 2018 Bollinger ‘PN AYC18’ Champagne

2018 Bollinger ‘PN AYC18’ Champagne- Big, broad-shouldered and sturdy, the 2018 Bollinger ‘PN AYC18’ Champagne is a world-class wine from this warmer year. Made from Pinot Noir grapes mainly from the Ay cru. It is a deep and rich bottling, loaded with bright red fruits that mingle well with orange zest, chalky soils and beautiful tension. Ripe and robust on the mouth, enjoy now and over the next ten plus years. Drink 2025-2035- 95
