The Story

Bollinger La Grande Année Rosé is an alternative expression of La Grande Année, transformed by the addition, at blending, of the unique red wine from La Côte aux Enfants.

Written Notes

In 2018, a judicious 5% addition of red wine from the celebrated La Côte aux Enfants parcel lends this La Grande Année Rosé its luminous salmon hue and hallmark red-berry soul. The delicious bouquet is led by a mélange of freshly crushed berries - wild strawberry, cranberry and maraschino cherry - still decidedly primary in character. With aeration, the profile deepens: a subtle exotic spiciness emerges, together with dried rose petals and a distinctly stony minerality that speaks to its chalk origins. On the palate, the wine moves with a silky glide. Beneath its soothing texture lies almost an electric, gently sizzling energy that keeps the structure taut. The wine finishing with a juicy length, it leaves an invitation for another sip. A brilliant vintage for La Grande Année Rosé
