Bollinger La Grande Année Brut Rosé Champagne 2014

The 2014 Rosé La Grande Année is airy, gracious and full of energy. Crushed rocks, whitepepper, red berry, mint and blood orange lend striking aromatic intensity and presence.Finely cut and taut, the Rosé is a nervy Champagne that needs time to come together. The Rosé is blended from a base of the Blanc plus 5% still red Pinot from Bollinger’s Coteaux des Enfants vineyard in Aÿ. Perhaps because of its later disgorgement vis-à-vis the Blanc, the Rosé is a bit tight today. Disgorged: August, 2021. Dosage: 8 grams per liter. Drinking window: 2024-2039. Score – 97.
