Bollinger La Grande Annee Rose 2014

Bollinger La Grande Année Rose 2014 is a vintage-dated rosé Champagne from the house of Bollinger in Épernay. Located in the village of Aÿ, Bollinger has become synonymous with sophistication and quality. In 1976, the maison`s vintage Champagne was renamed Grande Année, becoming La Grande Année in 1997. The 2014 La Grande Année Rosé is a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from 19 crus, mostly in Aÿ and Verzenay for Pinot Noir and Chouilly and Oiry for the Chardonnay. Around 5% of red wine from Bollinger`s Côte aux Enfants plot makes up the blend. The dosage here is 8g/l. "The wine comes with bright, orange hued peachy colour. There is a sweet strawberry note to the nuanced nose of cherry, peach candy, vanilla, liquorice and quince. It is for the time being youthful with the rainbow of berry aromas dominating. Yet the refined spiciness comes forward stronger on the silky-smooth palate of utterly sophisticated phenolics. The overall impression is elegant, even if vinous, with the brisk acidity enhancing the feeling of vibrancy and lightness." Essi Avellan MW, 2021
