2005 Bollinger La Grande Année

Bollinger Grande Annee 2005

Only produced in the best years, La Grande Année (meaning "great vintage") is made to express the character of the year.  Chosen from the best plots, it is made from 95% Grand Cru vineyards and the remainder from Premier Crus.  Bollinger is also one of the few Houses (like Krug) to ferment the base wine in small oak barrels to impart body and richness; it is then aged under cork for 5 years on the lees before disgorgement. 

 

  • The 2005 has slightly more Pinot Noir in the blend than usual (70%), the rest Chardonnay.  We found it  immediately appealing and almost flamboyant, but with wonderful elegance, freshness and complexity; this is a very special wine.

  

"Personally I am so impressed that I consider the wine fully mature from the release"
