Omschrijving
Champagne Bollinger maakt enkel in zeer goede jaren een jaartal champagne; de La Grande Année Brut. Het is de prestige cuvée van Bollinger. Hierin komen kennis, uitzonderlijk terroir en traditionele wijnbereidingstechnieken het meest tot hun recht. De 2012 vintage blend bestaat uit: 65% Pinot Noir, 36% Chardonnay. Van 21 Crus, voornamelijk uit Aÿ en Verzenay, komt de Pinot Noir en uit Le Mesnil-sur-Oger en Oiry de Chardonnay. Volledig gefermenteerd in oude eiken vaten. Onder een natuurlijke kurk rijpt de wijn in de kelder voor 7 jaar. De dosage is 8 gram per liter.
Robert Parker (95/100): "Disgorged in July 2019, Bollinger's 2012 Brut La Grande Année is showing well, offering up an incipiently complex bouquet of crisp yellow orchard fruit, fresh peach, orange oil, toasted walnuts and dried apricot that's still quite reserved with less than a year on cork. Full-bodied, deep and muscular, the 2012 is blockier and broader-shouldered than its 2008 predecessor, with a weightier and even more concentrated palate built around a bright spine of acidity, concluding with a chalky finish that carries appreciably dry extract. This isn't quite as elegant as the exquisite 2008, but it is a superb effort and obviously built to age."
James Suckling (95/100): "This makes a bold statement. Ripe, powerful and creamy with concentrated red-berry, nectarine, grapefruit and cashew aromas. I love the juiciness and brightness of this wine, which has such a long, graceful finish. Only 65% pinot noir, but it tastes like a lot more. 100% barrel fermentation and maturation. Drink or hold."
