Bollinger La Grande Annee 2015

Bollinger La Grande Année 2015 is a vintage, prestige-cuvée Champagne produced by Bollinger in Äy, France. Bollinger is a name synonymous with sophistication and quality in Champagne. In 1976, the maison`s vintage Champagne was renamed Grande Année, becoming La Grande Année (with the `La ` prefix) in 1997. Made only from Grand and Premier cru grapes, this wine is typically aged on lees for a decade before release. "The 2015 Brut La Grande Année was disgorged last year with eight grams per litre dosage. The wine has turned out beautifully, exhibiting a more muscular, old-school Bollinger profile in contrast to the unusually racy, fine-boned 2014 that preceded it. Wafting from the glass with notes of pear, orange oil and white flowers mingled with notions of mocha, toasted hazelnuts and fino sherry, it’s medium to full-bodied, layered and textural, with a dense core of fruit framed by chalky structuring extract, concluding with a long, sapid finish."
