Great wines are always born in barrels. La Grande Année Rosé is the perfect representation of this. This is a rare Champagne tradition, as Champagne Bollinger is one of the last-remaining Champagne houses to still vinify its great wines in barrels. However, thanks to micro-oxygenation, vinification in oak gives the wine extraordinary ageing potential.
The wine has glints of gold, reflecting its maturity and Bollinger vinification techniques. On the nose it is precise and fruity, with a slight scent of sea-air. Aromas of cherry and lemon mingle with quince and bergamot. Notes of hazelnut and almond, peach and mirabelle plum, complete this wine’s range of aromas. The initial sensation is a fine and intense effervescence, followed by a wonderful vinosity, balanced with delicate acidity.
