Champagne Maison Bollinger La Grande Année. Bollinger's interpretation of an exceptional year. Bollinger’s prestige champagne is produced only when the harvest reaches a perfect balance..
Wine type: champagne - Bollinger Grand Année
Alcohol content: 12°
Region: Aÿ, Avenay, Tauxières, Louvois et Verzenay. France.
Grape/blend: 70% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay 14 crus. (91% Grands crus and 9% Premier crus).
Type soil: the soil is poor and rocky, the temperature is ideal in summer (partly due to the micro-climate created by the local wind, the Ora del Garda): vines here still co-exist alongside olive groves. The valley is more open here and the excellent sun exposure allows the grapes to ripen to perfection.
Colour: the delicate colour and golden hues are a sign of the wine’s maturity and Bollinger’s wine-making methods.
Aroma: a first impression of fresh almonds, then yellow-flesh fruit aromas evoking peach and mango; toasted, roasted notes accompanied with dried citrus and pink grapefruit.
Tasting notes: a lovely aromatic fullness with honey flavours and a smooth chalky texture; candied lemon notes and a delicious bitterness, a wonderfully refreshing finish.
Serving suggestions: foie gras, fresh or pan-fried. Grilled fish, with or without sauce, lobster. Roast lamb or veal. Parmesan or Comté.
Please note that it is an offence to purchase or attempt to purchase alcoholic liquor if you are under the age of 18.
Editor's note: The story began with Athanase de Villermont, the youngest son of a noble family with a brilliant destiny. He immediately foresaw the extraordinary potential of the wines of Champagne, but as an aristocrat he was forbidden to become involved in trade. He then met Joseph Bollinger, a widely travelled German who had left his country of birth to learn about the Champagne wine trade, and Paul Renaudin, a local man who was fascinated by the world of wine.
