La Grande Année 2015 exhibits sensory and emotional qualities that echo the theme of the forest and the woodland realm, a realm which imparted structure and precision to this cuvée during the time it spent maturing in oak casks.

Colour: Yellow gold reflections, evidence of the wine’s maturity, but also of Bollinger’s vinification methods.

Nose: Initial scents are full of small stone fruits, with notes of Pomme Gris, plum and Mirabelle plum, layered with a touch of honey. Aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, cherry, and raspberry follow; a medley of red fruits dances with notes of almond. Exotic touches of mango follow, dissolving into tertiary scents of vanilla and a delicate woody aroma.

Palate: On the palate the wine is plump, generous and enticing, reminiscent of Mirabelle plum jam. Texture and richness define the tasting experience. The finish blends notes of chocolate and citrus fruits, bringing a touch of acidity, lengthened further by hints of schist. A hugely generous wine!

Champagne Bollinger, established in 1829, is a distinguished, family-owned Champagne house that remains fiercely independent. Celebrated for its Pinot Noir-centric blends, Bollinger adheres to traditional methods, including extended aging periods that can be up to four times longer than the norm. This commitment to tradition yields Champagnes with intricate, toasty flavours that define Bollinger’s signature style.
Madame Lily Bollinger, a legendary figure in the house’s history, once remarked, “I drink Champagne when I’m happy and when I’m sad. Sometimes I drink it when I’m alone. When I have company I consider it obligatory”.
Moreover, Bollinger’s use of the magnum format, which enhances the richness and aromatic purity of their reserve wines, significantly boosts the aging potential and complexity of their Champagnes. This exceptional combination of heritage, quality, and independence cements Bollinger’s esteemed reputation in the Champagne world.
