Bollinger

Bollinger ist eines der wenigen großen Champagnerhäuser, das sich nach wie vor in Privatbesitz befindet. 80% der Gesamtproduktion von Bollinger gehen in den Export. Gut so, denn sonst würden wir nicht in den Genuß dieses tollen Champagners gelangen. Bereits die Bollinger Spezial Cuvée macht dermaßen viel Spaß und dies bei einem außerordentlich fairen Preis. Bollinger Vintage ist groß und Bollinger

The Wine Advocate: "Bollinger´s 2008 La Grande Année is superb, wafting from the glass with aromas of crisp orchard fruit, ripe lemons, honeycomb, warm biscuits, dried white flowers and a delicate top note of walnuts and fino sherry. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, broad and vinous, with a beautifully refined mousse, superb concentration at the tightly wound core, incisive acids and a supremely elegant intermingling of Bollinger´s oxidative stylistic signatures with fresh, vibrant fruit. The finish is long, precise and chalky. This is a Grande Année built for the cellar—the real excitement will come with a bit more bottle age—but this is already a thrilling Champagne in the making. Finished with eight grams per liter dosage, it was disgorged by hand in July 2018. This is also the first vintage of Grande Année to be bottled in Bollinger´s new narrower-necked 1846 bottle, which should make for a slower evolving wine."
