Grande Année Rosé 2014

Grande Année Rosé 2014 is Bollinger's prestige cuvée in rosé and is made only in the best years. It consists of 63% Pinot Noir and 37% Chardonnay and is fermented exclusively in barrel. It owes its colour to a red wine from the Côte aux Enfants, a grand cru Pinot Noir parcel in Aÿ. In the cellar it spent twice as long as the appellation rules prescribe.

In the mouth the champagne wins you over with a creamy texture and clear freshness. Richness and minerality stay precise, and a racy finish extends the impression. That makes it a rosé for the table: duck breast and guinea fowl are fitting partners, as is robust poultry with roasted flavours. Pour it at 10 to 12 °C in a white wine glass or a Burgundy glass with a good opening, so the aromas can unfold.
