Bollinger La Grande Annee Magnum 2012

HED58681 150cl 12%
La Grande Année is the jewel in Champagne Bollinger’s crown and is the embodiment of their carefully preserved traditions and expertise. It is a blend of 65% Pinot Noir and 35% Chardonnay predominantly from the superior crus of Äy and Verzenay for the Pinot Noir, and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oiry for the Chardonnay. As is traditional at Bollinger, it is fermented entirely in barrels and was disgorged in July 2019 with 8g/L dosage having been riddled by hand. The 2012 vintage was generally considered superb and this is a brilliant release that combines remarkable complexity of fruit, beguiling aromatics and wonderful mineral depth. Compared to the 2008, this is perhaps just as excellent but will perhaps need a little longer in the cellar as it has a bit more structure and weight.

Bollinger

Synonymous with sophistication and quality, Champagne Bollinger was awarded the Royal Warrant as Official Purveyor of Champagne to Queen Victoria in 1884. From special cuvées and Rosé Champagnes, to rarely seen vintages, luxurious large formats and Recently Disgorged styles, this is a wonderful House to discover. Bollinger wines even have a close association with James Bond - and rare limited editions have been released in celebration of the films from Moonraker to No Time To Die.

The Bollinger vineyard covers 179 hectares, with 85% of these Grand and Premier Cru. One of the last family-run Champagne houses in the region, Bollinger is located in the village of Aÿ, near Épernay. A number of practices are key to the Bollinger approach: the majority of grapes used in the wines have to come from the Maison's own vineyards; Pinot Noir must play a dominant role in the blend; the role of micro-oxygenation from barrel fermentation; and long periods of bottle aging (two to three times longer than required).
