Bollinger's La Grande Annee Rose Vintage 2002 Champagne 75cl (Gift Boxed) is a ablend of Pinot Noir Grapes and Chardonnay made only from Grand Crus and Premier Crus from Champagne of which 73% are Grand Crus and 27% are Premier Crus. Bollinger only uses old casks (5 years old or older) to ensure that neither tannin or oak flavours are imparted to the wines.
La Grande Année receives a low “dosage” (7 - 9 g/l) and then rests for a minimum of 3 months prior to shipment, time for the wine to assimilate the “dosage” and settle.
Bollingers wine-making methods, nowadays seldom used in Champagne, reflect both the Bollinger style and an absolute demand for the highest standards and quality regarding grapes and wines.
