Texture and Elegance

The delicate blending process behind a great champagne and a unique red wine.

La Grande Année Rosé is another expression of La Grande Année, enhanced by the addition of a unique red wine from the Côte aux Enfants. This iconic Aÿ vineyard, owned entirely by the Maison, is only vinified to make red wine when grapes achieve optimal ripeness.

2015 was an excellent year. The delicate texture of the 2015 cuvées produces exquisitely harmonious wines. La Grande Année Rosé reflects the savoir-faire and expertise of Maison Bollinger, creators of a cuvée that is as exceptional as it is pure.

The exquisite texture, concentration and generosity of this vintage is evident in each and every bottle.

Fermentation takes place entirely in oak barrels and the wine is aged, sealed with a natural cork, for more than twice the time required by the appellation.
