Description
La Grande Année is the name given to Bollilnger’s vintage Champagnes because they are only produced in ‘truly exceptional years’. Their vintage rosé is a complex and elegant fizz with subtle fruit notes. It’s fantastic with food and would be excellent served alongside pan-fried duck breast with a fruity sauce.

Viticulture
La Grande Année Rosé is Madame Bollinger’s ultimate gift, created from perfect conditions: a blend between a great champagne and one of the very best red wines from a unique plot, the legendary Côte aux Enfants, a single plot of Aÿ Grand cru Pinot Noir. At Bollinger, only very high quality harvests become a vintage: 21 crus: Mainly Aÿ and Verzenay for Pinot Noir; Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oiry for Chardonnay. 5% red Côte aux Enfants wine.
Vinification
Fermented entirely in barrels.
Maturation
Sealed with a natural cork and cellar aged for more than twice the time required by the appellation.
