Bollinger La Grande Année Rosé 2014

Blend of the 2014 vintage: 65% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay. 21 crus: Mainly Aÿ and Verzenay for the Pinot Noir, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oiry for the Chardonnay. 5% red Côte aux Enfants wine. Exclusive use of the cuvée. Fermented entirely in barrels. At Bollinger, only very high quality harvests become a vintage: the exceptional 2014 vintage led to Bollinger creating expressive wines that were simultaneously full, fresh and complex.

Maturation: Sealed with a natural cork and cellar aged for more than twice the time required by the appellation.

Dosage: Moderate, 8 grammes per litre

Sensations: To the eye A delicate rose derived from La Côte aux Enfants Pinot Noir. To the nose Aromas of redcurrant and black fruits accompany lovely notes of citrus. On the palate A great deal of delicacy. The freshness and creamy texture are prolonged by a racy finish.

Pairings: La Grande Année Rosé is best enjoyed with savoury dishes. Duck breast filets, quail, pigeon or guinea fowl. Venison sauce Grand Veneur. Exotic or oriental cuisine.
