Description

The the eye the Bollinger La Grande Annee Brut 2015 has yellow gold reflections, evidence of the wine’s maturity, but also of Bollinger’s vinification methods. On the nose, initial scents are full of small stone fruits, with notes of Pomme Gris, plum and Mirabelle plum, layered with a touch of honey. Aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, cherry, and raspberry follow; a medley of red fruits dances with notes of almond. Exotic touches of mango follow, dissolving into tertiary scents of vanilla and a delicate woody aroma. On the palate the wine is plump, generous and enticing, reminiscent of Mirabelle plum jam. Texture and richness define the tasting experience. The finish blends notes of chocolate and citrus fruits, bringing a touch of acidity, lengthened further by hints of schist. A hugely generous wine!

The delicate texture of the 2015 cuvées produces exquisitely harmonious wines. La Grande Année’s creamy effervescence is the perfect complement to meat dishes, mushrooms, nuts, and red berries, as well as complex flavors such as citrus peel. The wine is full of sunshine, in subtle reference to the color of our champagnes. A tonal range of taste, the color palette of Bollinger wines.
