On Monday, June 16, 2025, La Maison Bollinger unveiled the latest jewel in its prestigious PN cuvée collection: PN TX20, a pure Pinot Noir champagne born from the acclaimed Premier Cru terroir of Tauxières.
The launch was more than a release—it was a celebration of summer, nature, and togetherness, created in collaboration with renowned florist Sally L. Hambleton.
With the warmth of the season settling in and International Picnic Day approaching on June 18, the two maisons joined forces to introduce a limited-edition picnic basket that brings luxury to the countryside. Designed for champagne lovers who value elegance and natural beauty, the offering includes a bottle of PN TX20, a handcrafted wicker basket, two crystal glasses, cotton doilies, a vase of fresh seasonal flowers, and a gourmet pairing of strawberries and croissants.
This refined picnic concept is a tribute to the art de vivre—the joy of simple pleasures, shared moments, and exquisite taste in open-air settings.
The Champagne: PN TX20
PN TX20 marks the sixth edition in Bollinger’s PN collection, which debuted in 2015 to honor the richness and versatility of Pinot Noir—Bollinger’s signature grape. Crafted exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes, PN TX20 is rooted in the 2020 vintage and sourced mainly from Tauxières Premier Cru, one of the House’s most historic and expressive vineyards.
It reveals a golden yellow hue with brilliant reflections. The nose is vibrant and refined, offering citrus notes, white fruit such as peach and quince, and underlying mineral tones. On the palate, the wine delights with bright acidity, flavors of red currant, and a creamy, full-bodied texture that lingers with elegance and depth.
A Toast to Shared Beauty
Sally L. Hambleton’s floral expertise brings a delicate and aesthetic touch to the experience, with seasonal blooms selected to reflect the authenticity and freshness of the cuvée. The collaboration underscores a shared vision: that taste, nature, and time spent together can form a powerful emotional experience.
At a recommended retail price of EUR 140, PN TX20 is a collectible expression of Pinot Noir. The limited-edition Bollinger x Sally L. Hambleton picnic basket, priced at EUR 199, inviting champagne lovers to bring a touch of elegance to their summer outings.
A Champagne Rooted in Tradition and Innovation
For nearly two centuries, Bollinger has centered its identity around Pinot Noir, and the PN series serves as a terroir-driven tribute to the grape’s complexity. Each edition reflects a unique facet of Pinot Noir’s personality, shaped by its origin. With PN TX20, Bollinger continues its legacy of craftsmanship while offering a contemporary and joyful expression—perfectly aligned with the spirit of summer.
