Champagne Bollinger La Grande Annee Rose 2015

La Grande Année Rose is another expression of La Grande Annee, enhanced by the addition of a unique red wine from the Côte aux Enfants. This iconic Aÿ vineyard, owned entirely by the Maison, is only vinified to make red wine when grapes achieve optimal ripeness.

La Grande Année Rosé 2015 is a blend of 11 crus, predominantly 62% of Pinot Noir from Verzenay, Aÿ and Mareuil-sur-Aÿ and 38% of Chardonnay from Chouilly and Avize. The blend includes 5 % red wine from La Côte aux Enfants parcel.

Delicate pink reflections. A nose full of primary aromas, offering a delicious composition of fruit flavours, blending strawberry juice, mandarin and rhubarb. Silky, the prelude to a voluptuous, juicy wine. On the palate, stone fruits set the tone ahead of a finish full of blood orange notes, a harmonious combination which shapes a tannic and elegant structure. A delicate hint of oiliness on the finish brings the tasting to a close.

The weather in 2015 clearly point to a very promising vintage. On tasting, La Grande Année Rose 2015, like La Grande Année 2015, exhibit sensory and emotional qualities that echo the theme of the forest and the woodland realm.
