BOLLINGER CHAMPAGNE PN TX20

Winery notes (2020 Vintage)
"Each new edition of the Bollinger PN cuvée brings with it a singular and contemporary vision of the Maison’s terroir and expertise, acting as a symbol of the union between tradition and innovation. Today, Bollinger welcomes a new edition into their range: PN TX20. The base year is a 2020. The principal cru is Tauxières and and reserve wines including 2008 and 2012 make up more than 25% of the blend. The result of a Blanc de Noirs made from 100% Pinot Noir, designed to make terroir the star of the show. Its dosage is moderate: 8 grams per liter. Its cellar aged for twice as long as stipulated by the Appellation.

The nose opens with scents of fresh citrus and lemon, followed by aromas of white stone fruits, peach and quince. The finish is enhanced by subtle mineral, flinty notes. First, notes of redcurrant and subtle freshness. Then comes beautiful richness, depth and vinosity with delicate touches of stewed fruits bringing extra complexity, all coming together in a lovely long finish."

95/100 Angus Hughson, WinePilot.com, November 2025 (2020 Vintage)
"This sixth edition of the newish Bollinger Blanc de Noirs is made of up 48% from the warm 2020 vintage from the village of Tauxières on the Montagne de Reims with the balance shared between 2019 tank aged wines and magnums from 2012 and 2008, which make up over 25%. It is not flashy or overly expressive to start but, if you look long enough, its genuine quality starts to emerge. Yes the riper 2020 vintage shows with the slightly broad aromatic quality yet there is also delightful detail in the pear tartin aromas lifted by touches of oak spice. Creamy and mouthfilling with a beautiful silky bead, chalky acidity is then well integrated through the long, sustained and open-knit finish. Drinking superbly yet also has the substance and fruit weight to age well over the medium term."

"Very vinous. Captivating aromas of subtle strawberries, flint, gunmetal and crushed stones. Medium-bodied with beautiful purity and length, this has ultrafine bubbles that blend in nicely and go on for minutes. Real clarity. 2020 base vintage with 25% reserve wines. No barrel fermentation. All pinot noir. Dosage 8 g/L. Drink now."

94/100 Wine Spectator, September 2025 (2020 Vintage)
"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."

93+/100 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com, April 2025 (2020 Vintage)
"The NV PN-TX20 is a powerful, tightly wound wine. All the drive of Pinot comes through in this decidedly virile Champagne. As with all the wines in this new series from Bollinger, the NV PN-TX20 is built around a base wine, in this case 2020 Pinot Noir from Tauxières, with 50% reserve wines, half of them from Bollinger's extensive library of reserve wines aged in magnum. This is an especially vinous Champagne, one that needs at least a year or two in bottle to unwind. The year was characterized by a relatively short cycle of just 87 days from flowering to a harvest that began on August 25. Dosage is 8 grams per liter. Disgorged: January, 2025. Drink 2027-2037."

92/100 Kristaps Karklins, Wine Advocate, July 2025 (2020 Vintage)
"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."
