BOLLINGER La Grande Année is an exceptional and intense vintage champagne . Bollinger's Grande Année is the embodiment of an exceptional and timeless champagne thanks to the artisanal know-how used in its production. This precise, fine and complex champagne is made from a blend of 19 crus, mainly from Aÿ and Verzenay for the 61% Pinot Noir and Chouilly and Oiry for the 39% Chardonnay. The vinification in wood is done in old oak barrels, 20 years old on average, for an aging time in the cellar more than twice the rules of the Appellation. The moderate dosage is 8 grams per liter. A cuvée to discover, a true gastronomic champagne! You can taste La Grande Année now, or choose to let it age in the cellar.

Nose : F ruty, precise and finely iodized. Aromas of cherry and lemon mingle with quince and bergamot. In a second phase, notes of hazelnut, almond, and mirabelle plum and peach complete this aromatic palette.
Palate : Opens with a fine and intense effervescence, followed by a beautiful vinosity and balanced by a delicate acidity. Its very fine texture and saline finish give it a great length in the mouth accompanied by complex flavors of orchard fruits and citrus fruits. An airy wine that gradually unfolds and then shows all its potential and intensity.
