France, Champagne
Pinot Noir, Chardonnay
Description
A fresh yet full-flavoured and opulent Champagne with a fine, long and toasty finish. Using only the finest first pressings of the grapes, Bollinger ferments the Still wine in small oak barrels to increase the complexity and ageing potential. The depth of flavour makes this versatile with food, and it’s a luxurious treat with rich, celebratory dinners.
Certifications
La Grande Année is Bollinger’s prestige champagne and is only produced when the harvest reaches a perfect balance: it is Bollinger’s version of an exceptional vintage. The grapes are taken exclusively from 13 Cru sites, 95% of which are Grand Cru and 5% of which are Premier Cru. Bollinger uses only the ‘cuvée’ juice in the making of La Grande Année, creating the purest style. The first
fermentation is always carried out 100% in old oak barrels and the wine is aged on its lees for a minimum of 5 years, often more. After manual riddling and disgorging, the wine rests for a minimum of 3 months prior to release.
The very early harvest and fresh qualities of the year 2007 make this vintage exceptional.
