Description
Stephan Reinhardt: Bollinger's 2009 Millesime Edition Limitee 007has a very clear, fine and fruity bouquet that reflects a perfectblend of Grands Crus dressed with Pinot Noir (68%) and Chardonnay(32%). Fermented in small used barrels and disgorged in February2014, the 2009 is very elegant, intense and balanced on the palate;it reveals a remarkable finesse with fine pearls and sweetcherry-flavored fruit. Its finish is well structured and quitepowerful and fruity, though it keeps the elegant style. Could bedrier for Bond, though that's for the girls, isn't it? Back to thefacts. Here's how Bollinger comments on the 2009 harvest:"Favorable weather conditions allowed the vines to bud mid-April,slightly early compared to the average of the past ten years.Flowering was disrupted by rain and cool temperatures. Early summerwas marked by a succession of violent storms that raised concernsof vine health. As of August 1, there was uninterrupted excellentweather until the harvest, which ran from September 12 to 27 withidyllic temperatures. The average potential alcohol for Bollingerreached 10.1 with an acidity of seven grams per liter."
