La Grande Annee is Bollinger’s signature style. The rose is a blend between a great vintage champagne and a red wine from a unique plot, the legendary Côte aux Enfants. Aged in oak barrels and only made when the maturation of the grapes is considered exceptional. Aromas of raspberry, wild strawberry and cherry with notes of peach and quince. Ample on the palate with a creamy effervescence and savoury flavours.
Producer description:
A James Bond favourite, Bollinger’s best crus are vinified in wooden casks and matured for at least three years, making opulent Champagne full of character. It was also the first house in the region to obtain the highly respected seal Patrimoine Vivant (living heritage) which recompenses exceptional craftsmanship and skill.

Bollinger's 2015 Brut La Grande Année Rosé was disgorged in May last year with seven grams per liter dosage. Offering up deep aromas of orchard fruits, blood orange, mandarin rind and peach mingled with nuances of coffee, praline and fino sherry, it's medium to full-bodied, pillowy and layered, with a broad attack that segues into a vinous palate framed by high levels of structuring dry extract that makes its presence felt on the sapid, nutty and penetrating finish. Given the skin maturity and inherent structure of the year, the Bollinger team elected to include only 4.5% of still red wine in the blend, a comparatively low percentage.

This elegant, medium-bodied rosé includes select plots of pinot noir from the Cote Aux Enfants vineyard. It shows a medium orange-amber color, dark cherry-skin and candied-plum aromas followed by vivid strawberry and blood-orange flavors. Marked by finesse, light but very flavorful, complex and layered. Drink or hold.
