Named after the village of Tauxières, from which it takes its abbreviation, the new NV Blanc de Noirs PN TX20 contains 40% fruit sourced from Tauxières, and the remaining composition draws largely from Aÿ-Champagne and Avenay-Val-d'Or. This cuvée is based on the 2020 vintage (48%), complemented by reserve wines from 2019 (stored in tank) as well as 2012 and 2008 (both aged in magnums). Disgorged in February 2025 with a dosage of eight grams per liter, it bursts from the glass with expressive aromas of ripe pear, tangerine peel, clove and brioche. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, broad and textural, with lively acidity and a generous core of fruit. The finish is expansive, though a subtle sweetness emerges, lending the impression of being one of the least dry expressions among the house’s Pinot Noir Champagnes. Vinified equally in stainless steel and oak barrels, approximately 80% of the fruit for this cuvée is sourced from Bollinger’s own vineyards.

Wine Spectator

Alison Napjus

An enticing waft of fragrant spices draws you into the glass, where ripe and juicy black cherry and currant fruit is underscored by a clean swathe of underlying salinity. Details of pickled ginger, crystallized honey, biscuit and white blossoms expand nicely on the plush mousse, which is raw silk–like in feel. This is rich and expressive, with good depth, yet its chiseled acidity provides fine definition throughout. Mouthwatering finish. Disgorged February 2025. Drink now through 2035.

Nose of apples, pears and herbs. The palate shows beautiful freshness and acidity with balanced structure and good complexity. Butter apple tart and praline richness bring warmth, while citrus and spice add breadth.

Description

Characteristics and Tasting Tips for the PN TX20 Blanc de Noirs Brut de Bollinger

Tasting

Color
The Color displays a golden yellow hue enhanced by subtle golden reflections.

Nose
The bouquet reveals a fresh and complex aromatic palette, featuring bright citrus notes led by lemon, accompanied by white-fleshed fruits such as peach and quince. The ensemble is rounded out by mineral nuances evoking flint.

Palate
The attack on the Palate is marked by slightly tart redcurrant flavors. The palate then unfolds a beautiful length and remarkable depth, revealing pronounced vinosity punctuated by compote-like fruit nuances. The finish stands out for its breadth and refinement.

Food and Wine Pairings

This Champagne pairs perfectly with refined dishes such as Armoricaine-style lobster served with pineapple tomatoes and a turnip purée with leek whites. It also elevates rosemary-roasted guinea fowl accompanied by a sage-reduced jus and white carrots confit in butter and sumac. For cheese lovers, it deliciously complements a white truffle pecorino served with seeded bread and an arugula salad with Piedmont hazelnuts.

Service and Aging

The PN TX20 Blanc de Noirs Brut is best enjoyed at a temperature between 10 and 11 °C. It should be opened carefully and served chilled. This Champagne can be enjoyed now or cellared for long-term aging.

The minerality and richness of an exceptional Blanc de Noirs Champagne by Bollinger

The Estate

Founded in 1829 in Aÿ by Jacques Joseph Bollinger, the House of Champagne Bollinger remains one of the last great family-owned houses. Now led by Charles-Armand de Belenet, the House is distinguished by its powerful style dominated by Pinot Noir and the legacy of Elisabeth Bollinger, who managed the estate from 1941 to 1971.

The Vineyard

This cuvée PN TX20 Blanc de Noirs Brut draws its uniqueness from the exceptional terroirs of the Montagne de Reims, primarily Tauxières, which brings freshness and elegance. The vineyards of Aÿ and Avenay complete this blend, offering the complexity and depth characteristic of Champagne grands crus. This non-vintage cuvée is based on a 2020 foundation enriched by over 25% reserve wines from the 2008 and 2012 vintages. The final composition comprises 48% wine of the year and 52% reserve wines, creating a blend of remarkable complexity that transcends the years. Its dosage level is 8 g/L.

Winemaking and aging

The PN TX20 Blanc de Noirs Brut benefits from exceptional maturation, more than twice the aging required by the Champagne appellation. This approach allows the wine to fully develop its aromatic complexity and structure, revealing all the nobility of Champagne Pinot Noir.

Blend

This Blanc de Noirs Champagne is made exclusively from Pinot Noir.
