Champagne Bollinger Vintage Brut 1973
Champagne, FranceFrom the cellar. The magic of Champagne means that this wine, now 50 years old, still shines, though without the sparkle / vibrancy of youth. The wood aging and dominance of pinot noir certainly contributes to its longevity. Though not a great year for Champagne, this continues to charm, with ample caramelized Maillard notes from the lengthy bottle age. Toasted brioche, dried apple, dried apricot, dried cherry blossom fills the near-still, golden-hued wine, with an acid line backbone that culminates in a wet chalky finish. A contemplative wine, 50 years in.Tasted: 22 July 2023Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| US | $332.00 | 750ml | estimated retail not in market |
