• Appearance: Golden yellow undertones demonstrate both the maturity of the wine and the mastery of Bollinger’s wine-making methods.
• On the nose: The initial notes evoke stone fruit, offering hints of Canadian Reinette apple and Mirabelle plum, tinged with a touch of honey. A pageant of dark berries follows: blackberry, blackcurrant, cherry and raspberry mingle with a trace of almond. Rounding out the bouquet, an exotic touch of mango complements base notes of vanilla and fine woody overtones.
• On the palate: The attack is fleshy and ample, and the flavours are indulgent, reminiscent of Mirabelle plum jam. Texture and complexity characterise the tasting experience. On the finish the wine exhibits notes of chocolate and citrus fruit, adding a touch of acidity which is prolonged by nuances of minerality, making for an extremely pleasurable wine.
