Tasting Notes
4.1
This wine unfolds with an intense bouquet, featuring Jerez, nuts, apple pie, honey, and mushrooms. Its good acidity and lingering small bubbles indicate it's still alive (maybe just a tiny bit). The structure is solid, contributing to a long, flavorful, and complex aftertaste. Overall, it offers an intriguing and satisfying tasting experience.
About
La Grande Année, crafted exclusively from Grand and Premier cru grapes, epitomizes Champagne Bollinger's commitment to traditional expertise. Fermented in oak barrels, sealed with natural cork, and manually riddled, it spends around a decade in Bollinger's chalky cellars. Bollinger maintains the ancient practice of oak vinification, enhancing aroma finesse and allowing prolonged lees ageing. Each bottle of La Grande Année, embodying a rare Champagne tradition, undergoes manual riddling and disgorgement.
