Bollinger La Grande Annee 2012 Vintage Champagne 75cl
La Grande Annee is Bollinger’s prestige blend, produced only when a harvest reaches a perfect balance. It is Bollinger’s interpretation of an exceptional year, whose virtues deserve to be brought to the fore, and whose quality ensures the continued production of the house’s outstanding prestige vintages. During an exceptional year’s harvest, grapes solely from Grands and Premiers crus are vinified to reveal a harmonious blend which portrays the characteristics of a remarkable viticultural year. La Grande Annee develops a majestic vinosity, and intense, rich and complex aromas, whose tonality varies according to the nature of each vintage.

Grape: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir
La Grande Annee is vinified in small aged oak barrels and aged for a prolonged period of time on the lees with each bottle riddled and disgorged by hand.
This vintage is beautifully delicate in colour with golden hints showing the wine's maturity. On the nose, the 2012 vintage boasts aromas of apricot, almond and hazelnut leading to smooth honey and cereals creating a true symphony of aromas. The palate is exceptional in all ways with delicious, refined notes, excellent texture and a long, silky finish.
La Grande Annee lends itself to an array of gourmet dishes especially scallops, grilled oyster with smoked butter or mushrooms with potato emulsion and truffle.
