Grape variety:\u00a0\u00a0 62% Pinot Noir and 38% Chardonnay<\/p>\n
Origin:\u00a0\u00a0 Grands and Premiers Crus from\u00a0 La Montagne de Reims and La C\u00f4te des Blancs<\/p>\n
La Grande Ann\u00e9e Ros\u00e9 is a derivation from the blend of La Grande Ann\u00e9e and is only produced when exceptional quality vintages occur. The grapes come exclusively from Grands and Premiers Crus.
\nA beautifully structured and full bodied wine, with a deep colour and which develops intense aromas.<\/p>\n
The addition of 6.5 % of Pinot Noir from La C\u00f4te Aux Enfants and vinified as red wine gives the blend its colour and its ripeness.<\/p>\n
Wines from 16 villages have been included, 77% from Grand Crus and 23% from Premier Crus. Bollinger use only the ‘cuv\u00e9e’ juice in the making of La Grande Ann\u00e9e Ros\u00e9.<\/p>\n
The first fermentation is always carried out 100% in old oak barrels, which has become quite unique in Champagne. The Cru\u2019s are fermented in small oak barrels which enables a rigorous selection. Bollinger uses only old barrels (5 years and more) in order to generate neither an oaky taste nor tannins. This method reinforces the aromatic complexity and the ageing potential of the wines.<\/p>\n
At this stage the red wine from \u2018La C\u00f4te Aux Enfants\u2019 is blended with the Grande Ann\u00e9e base wine in a proportion of 7 to 8%, which gives birth to La Grande\u00a0 Ann\u00e9e Ros\u00e9.<\/p>\n
Once the wine is bottled the second fermentation and cellar ageing are conducted under natural cork. This method, nowadays very seldom used in Champagne, is a guarantee of freshness. It allows the aromas to preserve all their bouquet.<\/p>\n
La Grande Ann\u00e9e Ros\u00e9 then ages in the cellars for at least 5 years. After Manual riddling and disgorging, La Grande Ann\u00e9e Ros\u00e9 rests for a minimum of 3 months prior to shipment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
