Made only in exceptional vintages, Champagne Brut La Grande Année is made from only Grand and Premier Cru 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay grapes. La Grande Année embodies the carefully preserved traditions of Champagne Bollinger. Vinified in oak barrels, it is matured for 10 years in the Maison’s limestone wine cellars. Champagne Bollinger has always continued the ancient method of vinification in French oak, which helps develop aromas of great finesse. After an extended period of ageing, each bottle of La Grand Année is, even now, still disgorged by hand. Straw yellow colour with golden reflections, highlighting maturity and long ageing. Fruit notes of lemon and bergamot are revealed on the nose, accompanied by hints of mineral, almond and hazelnut. On the palate, a fine and intense mouthfeel, with a fine and delicate perlage, balanced with excellent acidity. Its creamy texture makes it perfect as an aperitif Champagne or for enjoying on special occasions.
