Lot 9

Bollinger ‘Vieilles Vignes Françaises’ 1990

Bollinger Vieilles Vignes Françaises is a beautiful Champagne made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes from two different vineyard sites (Clos Saint-Jacques and Clos Chaudes-Terres). Both Clos protect the vines and give them perfect exposure to the sun. This Blanc de Noirs is vinified in traditional oak barrels and spends at least five years aging before release. Known as an outstanding vintage for Champagne 1990, this bottle will surely not disappoint!
