BOLLINGER GRANDE ANNEE 2014

Style: Sparkling & Champagne

¿

This Ay-based Négociant has the considerable advantage over many other houses of owning 150ha of its own vines and therefore being able to rely on a core of first-class raw materials on which it builds its wines, especially the reserves (stored painstakingly in magnums under cork) and the top cuvees. ANDREW JEFFORD

The 2014 La Grande Année is stunning. In fact, it is one of the best recent editions I can remember tasting. What comes through most is the wine's sizzling energy and tension, qualities that aren't often associated with Bollinger, where the Champagnes tend to show more breadth and volume. In 2014, readers will find a Grande Année built on linear intensity and drive. It's a total knock-out. (98) ANTONIO GALLONI
