Tasting Notes:

  • Colour: Beautiful yellow gold reflections, hinting at the wine’s maturity and Bollinger’s distinctive vinification techniques.
  • Nose: The aromatic profile begins with small stone fruits like Pomme Gris, plum, and Mirabelle plum, layered with subtle honey. As it opens, the wine reveals an array of red fruits such as blackberry, blackcurrant, cherry, and raspberry, followed by exotic notes of mango. These fruit aromas are complemented by delicate hints of almond, vanilla, and a subtle woody character.
  • Palate: On the palate, this champagne is plump, generous, and reminiscent of Mirabelle plum jam. The texture is rich and luxurious, with a finish that brings together notes of chocolate and citrus fruits. The touch of acidity, lengthened by hints of schist, gives the wine a balanced and elegant complexity.

A Timeless Champagne

La Grande Année is the very embodiment of an exceptional, timeless champagne. Artisanal savoir-faire is at the heart of its production. One such artisanal technique is vinification, which takes place in oak barrels that are around 20 years old. This helps the wine develop complex aromas, and, thanks to micro-oxygenation, lends an extraordinary ageing potential.

La Grande Année exhibit sensory and emotional qualities that echo the theme of the forest and the woodland realm, a realm which imparted structure and precision to both cuvées during the time they spent maturing in oak casks. Our savoir-faire fosters flavor development and provides ideal conditions for maturation.

Assembly

The delicate texture of the 2015 cuvées produces exquisitely harmonious wines.
La Grande Année 2015 is a blend of 11 crus, predominantly 60% of Pinot Noir from Verzenay, Aÿ and Mareuil-sur-Aÿ and 40% of Chardonnay from Chouilly and Avize.
Fermentation takes place entirely in oak barrels and the wine is aged, sealed with a natural cork, for more than twice the time required by the appellation. Dosage is moderate, 8 grams per litre.

Vision

Well-rooted, earthy, powerful, and concentrated taste.
One sign that 2015 would be an excellent year was the remarkable weather. Blasing hot sunshine was moderated by rain showers and Bollinger’s expertise. Harvest began on September 4th and was of a very high quality. Compact bunches of small berries and quite high levels of acidity.

Tasting recommendations

La Grande Année 2015 is the definition of a gastronomic champagne. To highlight its unique style and aromas, we recommend you serve this wine between 8 and 10°C. You can enjoy La Grande Année 2015 right away or choose to age it further in a cellar.
