Gault&Millau's review
2020 96/100
The nose is clearly marked by wood, but the wood is pure, straightforward and clean, with notes of fresh grapes, meadow flowers and orchard fruit. Surprisingly more pure than powerful, this 2008 is particularly youthful, fresh, lively and chalky. A superbly racy Champagne that will age well for many years.

Bollinger
Bollinger was founded in 1829 in the village of Aÿ. Six generations have patiently built up an impressive heritage that remains resolutely independent. The Bollinger style is inimitable and recognized as such by leading champagne connoisseurs. It rests on a solid foundation: 60% of the total supply comes from the estate's own vineyards, Pinot Noir is the majority grape variety, reserve wines are kept in magnums, barrel fermentation is used for vintage wines and part of the "Special Cuvée", and aging on lees is two to three times longer than the appellation rules. Denis Bunner is the current cellar master.
