La Grande Année Rosé 2014
Length and Refinement
The subtle blend of a great champagne and a unique red wine.
La Grande Année Rosé, the embodiment of an exceptional and timeless champagne
La Grande Année Rosé 2014 is the fruit of a blend of La Grande Année 2014 and a unique red wine from the Côte aux Enfants. This emblematic plot in Aÿ, one of Bollinger’s single plots, is vinified in red only when the grape maturation is optimal, a rarity that contributes to the quality of the wine produced.
ASSEMBLY
The birth of an exceptional, precise and complex wine
La Grande Année Rosé 2014 is an assembly of 19 crus, mostly in Aÿ and Verzenay for Pinot Noir and Chouilly and Oiry for the Chardonnay. We add 5% red wine from the Côte aux Enfants plot.
Fermentation takes place entirely in oak barrels. It is cellar aged, sealed with a natural cork, for over twice as long as required by appellation. The dosage is moderate, 8 grams per litre.
SENSATIONS
The 2014 vintage, the fruit of a year full of contrast
A rainy autumn and winter were followed by two very dry and sunny months, then summer – and particularly August – saw markedly cold weather. Despite these conditions, the musts had a wonderful balance of maturity and acidity, giving rise to an intense and multifaceted La Grande Année Rosé 2014 vintage. Tasting reveals the gradual way in which the different aromas come into play.
To the eye
An appearance with pinkish glints.
To the nose
A real mosaic of fruit: aromas of raspberry, wild strawberries, cherries, etc. Notes of peach and quince complete this fruity bouquet.
On the palate
This wine is characterised by its creamy effervescence, splendid volume in the mouth and long aromatic persistence. Its wonderful acidity and sea-air characteristics appear alongside flavours of orchard fruits and berries.

La Grande Année Rosé
The subtle blend of a great champagne and a unique red wine
La Grande Année Rosé, the embodiment of an exceptional and timeless champagne
This red wine comes from a steep hill on the outskirts of Aÿ and is made in the Burgundian style, aged in small oak barrels. It is only produced when the maturation of the grapes is considered exceptional.
Vinified exclusively in old oak barrels
Great wines are always born in barrels. La Grande Année Rosé is the perfect representation of this. This is a rare Champagne tradition, as Champagne Bollinger is one of the last-remaining Champagne houses to still vinify its great wines in barrels. However, thanks to micro-oxygenation, vinification in oak gives the wine extraordinary ageing potential.
Riddled and disgorged exclusively by hand
The people of Champagne have long sought the best way to clarify wine by removing the deposit that forms over the years. To do this, they invented the very unique method of riddling: gently and gradually moving the bottle to progressively remove the sediment and guide it into the neck of the bottle. The cellars of Champagne Bollinger are home to row upon row of wooden stands.
