La Grande Année

65% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay.

21 crus: Mainly Aÿ and Verzenay for the Pinot Noir, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oiry for the Chardonnay.

Fermented entirely in barrels.

At Bollinger, only very high quality harvests become a vintage: the exceptional 2012 vintage led to Bollinger creating expressive wines that were simultaneously full, fresh and complex.

Maturation: Sealed with a natural cork and cellar aged for more than twice the time required by the appellation.

Dosage: Moderate, 8 grammes per litre

To the eye: Its delicate colour and golden reflections are a sign of the wine's maturity and Bollinger's wine-making methods

To the nose: Full and expressive. Apricot, almond and hazelnut, followed by notes of honey and cereals intertwining in a symphony of aromas.

On the palate: Exceptional texture and structure. Dense, silky with a long finish.

Fresh and full with a delicious refined finish.
