{"product_id":"bollinger-la-grande-annee-2008","title":"Bollinger La Grande Annee 2008","description":"Bollinger La Grande Année 2008 is a vintage prestige-cuvée Champagne produced by Maison Bollinger in Aÿ, France. Bollinger is a name synonymous with sophistication and quality in Champagne. In 1976, the maison`s vintage Champagne was renamed Grande Année, becoming La Grande Année (with the `La`  prefix) in 1997. Made only from Grand and Premier cru grapes, this wine is typically aged on lees for a decade before release. \"Bollinger`s 2008 La Grande Année is superb, wafting from the glass with aromas of crisp orchard fruit, ripe lemons, honeycomb, warm biscuits, dried white flowers and a delicate top note of walnuts and fino sherry. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, broad and vinous, with a beautifully refined mousse, superb concentration at the tightly wound core, incisive acids and a supremely elegant intermingling of Bollinger`s oxidative stylistic signatures with fresh, vibrant fruit. The finish is long, precise and chalky. This is a Grande Année built for the cellar—the real excitement will come with a bit more bottle age—but this is already a thrilling Champagne in the making. Finished with eight grams per liter dosage, it was disgorged by hand in July 2018. This is also the first vintage of Grande Année to be bottled in Bollinger`s new narrower-necked 1846 bottle, which should make for a slower evolving wine.\" William Kelley, 2019","brand":"Bollinger","offers":[{"title":"Duty Paid","offer_id":62414241628490,"sku":"HED78173","price":200.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/7696\/2634\/files\/HED78173.jpg?v=1781899341","url":"https:\/\/hedonism.co.uk\/products\/bollinger-la-grande-annee-2008","provider":"Hedonism Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
