It's rare to find even bottles of this rarity, let alone an original 3-bottle case. Bollinger VVF is of course made in miniscule quantities from two parcels of ungrafted pinot noir vines in Aÿ. Prior to 2003, the wine also included a small part from ungrafted vines in Bouzy, but these vines finally succumbed to phylloxera after the 2004 harvest. Hopefully the Aÿ vines will not suffer the same fate.
The 98-point rating Richard Juhlin gave the 2005 VVF is his highest score for this cuvée since the 1979 vintage.
“The first vintage as a pure Aÿ because the phylloxera attacked the unprotected parcelle in Bouzy. Sad in itself, but for the wine rather a profit. Even fewer bottles and this difficult little flat and excessively obese vintage ought to be a disappointment. The reality was different. The highly expressive and intense aroma is similar to the monumental ’96 at the same age and we’re dealing with a really great vintage of VVF. The Aÿ-aroma shines indeed clearer than usually and the fresh and clear acidity present along with a magnificent grand aromatic spectrum. While it offers so much already, a restrained overall dark-energy of power is ready to be unleashed.”
