Description
A great vintage rosé champagne with an alluring complexity and finesse
The estate
Timeless and legendary, the Bollinger Champagne House, nicknamed "Boll" by the inhabitants of the Champagne region and "Bolly" by the English, is part of an exclusive group of fine Champagne houses. Champagne Bollinger’s style is defined by the exemplary precision brought to each step of the winemaking process. Respect for traditions, riddling the bottles by hand, corking reserve magnum bottles, the last barrel maker in the Champagne region, the drive for excellence symbolises the whole culture of Champagne Bollinger. More than just an art, it is a heritage.
The vineyard
The strength of the Bollinger Champagne House lies in its vineyards. Comprising 174 hectares of vines divided into seven main vineyards, 85% of which are Grands Crus and Premiers Crus, the House is thus one of the few Champagne Houses to produce its own grapes for its blends.
The wine
Bollinger's Grande Année Rosé 2014 is made from 19 exceptional Champagne crus, mainly Aÿ, Verzenay for the Pinot Noir, Chouilly and Oiry for the Chardonnay grapes.
Winemaking and ageing
Exclusive use of the cuvée and fermentation in barrels. This cuvée was aged in the cellar for twice as long as the rules set out in the Champagne appellation charter. The ageing period was carried out under cork and the dosage of this Bollinger Rosé champagne is 8 grams per litre.
Blend
Pinot Noir (63%)
Chardonnay (37%)
This blend is completed by 5% of red wine from the Côte aux Enfants.
