Wine Spectator: 93 Points
A finely detailed Champagne with pointillist bubbles softly bursting on the palate carrying a delicate layered range of ripe raspberry and yellow peach candied ginger and crystalized honey chopped nuts and fleur de sel. Minerally chalk and saline accents drive the finish. Disgorged February 2022. Drink now through 2025. 350 cases imported.

The nose is remarkably fine and complex expressing scents of orchard fruit white peach apricot and lemon with a touch of verbena. On the palate the immediate impression is of a certain unctuosity providing great charm and even the structure has round contours but it seems to tighten on the chalky airborne finish. The salinity that marked the previous two iterations of this PN series seems less present with this one having more notes of pastry and hazelnuts as well as some zesty citrus but airing adds an iodine-like tang. This is a Champagne that should pair well with fresh fish and shellfish dishes. 100% Pinot Noir. Dosage: 4 g/L. Disgorgement: January 2022.
vVinous: 93 Points
The NV PN TX 17 100% Pinot Noir from Tauxières is the next wine in Bollinger?s new series of single-village Champagnes. Bright and punchy the 2017 is redolent of pear dried flowers mint chalk and sage. Aromatically the 2017 could easily be mistaken for a Blanc de Blancs such is its purity but the richness and resonance of Pinot are unmistakable on the palate. This is an especially vinous layered Champagne that offers striking interplay between its intense fruit and the mineral saline and savory-laced frame that holds it all together. The only thing this could use is a bit more body as it is a touch austere. Disgorged: February 2022. - By Antonio Galloni on July 2022
