Tasting notes Bollinger La Grande Année 2015

Champagne Brut. 72 months in bottle.

Champagne Bollinger La Grande Année 2015 dazzles with golden highlights that speak of its maturity and the impeccable vinification process of Bollinger. On the nose, it unveils a captivating bouquet of stone fruits such as russet apples, red and yellow plums, enveloped in honey and notes of blackberry, blackcurrant, cherry, and raspberry. It completes its aromatic profile with nuances of mango, dried fruits, vanilla, and a subtle hint of wood. On the palate, it presents as fleshy and exuberant, revealing a magnificent texture. The notes of plum jam and chocolate are balanced with bright citrus that provides a refreshing acidity. This 2015 vintage is particularly remarkable for its notable balance between creaminess and texture, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a Gran Reserva champagne full of depth and character.

About Bollinger La Grande Année

Small aged oak barrels have always held significant importance at Bolinger. This particular house, which has been crafting champagnes since 1829, relies on these vessels that are crucial to the refinement of their sparkling wines. Nowadays, amidst wineries that are technologically advanced and modernised, Bolinger continues to champion traditional methods, where bottles are riddled and disgorged by hand. The result is exceptional, of distinguished quality, with champagnes such as Bollinger La Grande Année.

The origin of Bollinger La Grande Année lies in the grapes harvested from the 21 crus in the northeast of France, within the AOC Champagne (primarily Aÿ, Verzenay, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, and Oiry). From these vineyards, only the most exceptional grapes make it to the winery, where they undergo complete fermentation in the traditional aged oak barrels. This base wine - which is bottled and sealed with natural cork - will rest in the chalk crayères for a minimum of three years (almost double the 15 months minimum required by the AOC Champagne). There, under the scrutiny of manual riddling, the secondary fermentation will occur, and after the manual disgorgement, Bollinger La Grande Année will rest for another 3 months. The wine dictates the process, and it is given all the time it needs to stabilise and settle.

2014

Bollinger La Grande Année 2014 is a mature, complex and dry sparkling wine (with less than 8gr/l of sugar). Overall, this is a precise and fine sparkling wine that is very elegant, with exceptional minerality. It begins with golden reflections (typical of the long maturation). The nose is fruity (cherry, lemon, quince, plum, peach) with hints of nuts (hazelnuts, almonds). The palate is very fine, elegant and intense, with a rich acidity. Well balanced. What stands out most is its saline character, which gradually unfolds towards orchard fruits (where citrus fruits stand out). Very fine and integrated bubbles.
2012

Bollinger La Grande Année 2012 is an expressive dry sparkling wine (8 g/L sugar). The nose reveals notes of apricot, almond and hazelnut with a background of honey, cereals and bakery notes. The palate is structured, dense and silky, with a long and refined finish.
2000 Pure elegance. Refined, sensual, delicate, with ripe fruit and citrus, an excellent acidity that provides it with a great freshness, which contrasts with the creaminess in its mid palate. Well-integrated carbonics. Very long and very persistent finish. An elegant and round Champagne. A great pleasure for all senses.

Yellow with golden reflections. Clean and bright with very fine and continuous bubbles which form a good ring on the surface.

Intense, rich and complex aromas. A whole range of aromas, from ripe white fruit with notes of pastry, nuts and butter to citrus notes that provide it with freshness. These notes give way to subtle touches of smoky, spicy,... A large set of scents.
