Champagne Bollinger - La Grande Année 2015
Champagne - Champagne - Brut -La Grande Année 2015 is a vintage Champagne, the interpretation of an exceptional year and the embodiment of the craftsmanship of the House of Bollinger.
In 1976, Bollinger Vintage became Grande Année; then, in 1997, "La" Grande Année... A name of obvious simplicity, to better illustrate its exceptional status: because only truly exceptional years have the privilege of being vintage wines at Bollinger.
A blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay, fermented entirely in barrels, Bollinger only offers vintages from high quality harvests: Bollinger's excellent 2015 vintage produces wines that are generous, full-bodied, lively and complex all at once. Racking and disgorging are done by hand.
Tasting of La Grande Année 2015:
To the eye: A golden yellow colour, reflecting the wine's maturity as well as Bollinger's winemaking methods.
To the nose: An initial nose of small stone fruits, with notes of Canadian apple, plum and mirabelle plum, punctuated by a touch of honey. This is followed by aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, cherry and raspberry, a veritable farandole of red fruit mixed with a hint of almond. On the second nose, an exotic touch of mango blends with tertiary notes of vanilla and fine oak.
On the palate: The attack is fleshy and full-bodied, with a mouth-filling flavour reminiscent of mirabelle plum jam. Texture and richness characterise the tasting. The finish combines notes of chocolate and citrus fruit, adding a touch of acidity, followed by a hint of schist.
A wine of great generosity!
The advice of 12bouteilles : La Grande Année 2015 is a true gourmet champagne. To bring out its unique style and aromas, we recommend that you serve this wine between 8 and 10°C. You can enjoy La Grande Année 2015 now, or leave it to age in the cellar.
Among the great champagnes of the Maison Bollinger, you could also like Special cuvée, Rosé, la Grande Année, RD "Récemment Dégorgé", Extrabrut PN, la Côte aux enfants and at Ayala, the cuvées Brut Majeur et Rosé Majeur.
