Bollinger Champagne PN VZ16 NV bis-hidden What you get is aBollinger's house style is all about Pinot Noir, and this newest series from Bollinger explores their love of the grape. "VZ16" requires a bit of decoding: the VZ stands for Verzenay, one of the great Pinot villages that Bollinger relies on, and the sole source of grapes for this wine.
