Champagne Bollinger Champagne Grande Annee Brut AOC millesime Rose

Tasting Notes
La Grande Année Rosé reflects the terroir, embodies tradition, and promises high enjoyment. On the nose, it reveals what can be expected from a Prestige cuvée: character, depth, and harmony. The sensory impressions in the bouquet are complex and nuanced. The aroma palette ranges from berries (wild berries, red currant) to fresh fruits (green apple, peach, quince) to subtle notes of brioche, yeast, butter, and honey. The progression showcases a magnificent cuvée: elegant, refined, yet sustainable and persistent. The optimum balance between delicate fruitiness and structural sustainability is achieved on the palate and in the finish. For a vintage wine in Champagne, a particularly good year must be present in terms of quality. Additionally, the grapes must be fully ripe, and it must be justified that the composition of the blend consists solely of wines from that particular year. La Grande Année Rosé is based on the blend of La Grande Année, to which 7 to 8% of red wine from the single vineyard Côte aux Enfants is added, giving the wine its rich, round, and fruity characteristics. It is also the result of the unmistakable Bollinger style.
