BOLLINGER GRANDE ANNEE 2015

Style: Rocks & Minerals

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 New France

The 2015 Brut La Grande Année was disgorged last year with eight grams per liter dosage. The wine has turned out beautifully, exhibiting a more muscular, old-school Bollinger profile in contrast to the unusually racy, fine-boned 2014 that preceded it. Wafting from the glass with notes of pear, orange oil and white flowers mingled with notions of mocha, toasted hazelnuts and fino sherry, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and textural, with a dense core of fruit framed by chalky structuring extract, concluding with a long, sapid finish. 95 WILLIAM KELLEY, The Wine Advocate
