Descripción
Este espumoso solo sale al mercado en aquellas añadas en las que la calidad de las uvas es excepcional. La cosecha 2015 cumplió con las expectativas de la Maison Bollinger, destacando la concentración y la generosidad de esta añada. De corte clásico, estamos ante un champagne muy gastronómico. La riqueza de su textura, su efervescencia cremosa y su fino toque salino hacen de él un compañero ideal de los platos refinados y de los manjares más exquisitos.

Opinión de los críticos
Enticing, fragrant aromas of toast, lemon zest and an earthy-smoky nuance lead to a palate of subtle Bosc-pear, mango, papaya, even pineapple flavors. Lifted by fresh acidity on the medium-bodied palate, the wine keeps unfolding in toasted walnuts, honey and a dash of bitter marmalade. It’s mouth-filling, alive with acidity and full of finesse. Drink or hold.
The 2015 Brut La Grande Année was disgorged last year with eight grams per liter dosage. The wine has turned out beautifully, exhibiting a more muscular, old-school Bollinger profile in contrast to the unusually racy, fine-boned 2014 that preceded it. Wafting from the glass with notes of pear, orange oil and white flowers mingled with notions of mocha, toasted hazelnuts and fino sherry, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and textural, with a dense core of fruit framed by chalky structuring extract, concluding with a long, sapid finish.
A forward vintage for La Grande Année, with warmth evident in its roasted orange, Comice pear and Mirabelle plum, all polished with a sense of savoury maturity that is very Bollinger at heart. There’s a little more oxygen influence seemingly at play than in the 2014, with brine, nuts and a little dried leaf character already taking this far beyond fruit. The food-friendly chewiness of 2015 is there, but the mousse is supple and the Chardonnay brings the wine to a close with a fine, cooked lemon snap. This will start to show its best integration from 2025 onwards, although it is open for business now. 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay from the Montagne de Reims, Grande Vallée de la Marne and Côte des Blancs, all fermented in small oak barrels and disgorged in May 2023 after seven years on lees.

Perfecta. Es de lo mejor que he bebido. Para nada es fuerte como pudiera parecer un Bollinger.
sencillamente maravilloso
Necesita al menos una hora de aireación o 5-10 años de botella. Aún así, tremendo!
Seco y muy mineral, muy lejos de mis gustos. Pésima RCP. Sobrevalorado. Valoración Rxm 90.
Espectacular! Bollería fina y cremosa, lemon pie, frutos secos... Todo en armonía con una boca de textura cremosa, golosa, nada pesada, viva
