19 crus: mainly Aÿ and Verzenay for Pinot Noir, Chouilly and Oiry for Chardonnay.
Fermented entirely in aged oak barrels. At Bollinger, only the highest quality harvests become Millesimati; the 2014 vintage has given rise to a wine that is at once structured, rich and complex, both in terms of minerality and exceptional intensity. Sealed with a natural cork and aged in the cellar for more than double the time required by the appellation.
THE EYE :
Golden yellow reflecting the maturity of the wine and Bollinger winemaking techniques.
ON THE NOSE:
Precise and fruity. Aromas of cherry and lemon blend with quince and bergamot. Then notes of hazelnut and almond, peach and mirabelle plum complete the range of aromas of this wine.
On the PALATE:
The initial sensation is of a fine and intense effervescence, followed by a splendid vinosity, and then balanced by a delicate acidity. Its very fine texture and the marine finish give the palate an excellent length, accompanied by a delicate minerality and complex flavors of fruit and citrus. This wine unfolds gradually, revealing all its potential and intensity.
La Grande Année 2014 is the perfect champagne for gourmet cuisine.
To fully appreciate its unique style and aromas, this wine should be served between 8 and 10°C. You can enjoy La Grande Année 2014 now or choose to leave it in the cellar with the appropriate storage techniques.
