Why We're Buying
Vieilles Vignes Françaises is Bollinger's unmatched super-luxurious cuvée. It comes from an ultra-limited selection of grapes and yields ultra-rich flavors. According to Wine-Searcher, it's the second most expensive pinot noir-dominant Champagne behind Krug Clos d'Ambonnay Blanc de Noirs Brut.
Critics Scores
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Bollinger’s 2002 Brut Vieilles Vignes Francaises isn’t really Champagne, nor is it a wine. Rather it is an extraordinary and frankly addicting concoction all its own. Endowed with the most refined mousse imaginable and endless layers of fruit, the 2002 VVF captivates both the hedonistic and intellectual senses to the fullest. Waves of subtle red fruit, smoke, mint and incense appear to be virtually endless, but at the same time, it is the wine’s textural richness that stands out the most. With time in the glass the 2002 just gets better and better. Readers fortunate to have the discretionary income needed to purchase the 2002 VVF should not hesitate. It is a once in a lifetime treat for most mortals! Anticipated maturity: 2012-2020.
