Bollinger Champagne: Rich, Luxurious and Decadent

Revered for its rich round and luxurious style Bollinger is one of the most famous of all Champagne houses.

The high proportion of top quality Pinot Noir in the blend of the emblematic Special Cuvee Non Vintage is the key to the Bollinger style. This in combination with oak barrels for fermentation to add body and heft and access to an enviable library of reserve wines that bring layered complexity has won the house legions of fans.

The Bollinger Luxury Cuvees

The Bollinger Special Cuvee the the calling card of the house. However, there are a number of luxury cuvees made by Bollinger that are highly-collectable and immense in quality.

La Grande Annee

This is Bollinger’s vintage Champagne and is therefore based on a single harvest. La Grande Annee is released only in the best years when high quality can be guaranteed and has the characteristic Bollinger richness and weight while having huge ageing potential.

Bollinger RD

Bollinger RD (Recently Disgorged) is a fascinating Champagne. It is the same as La Grande Annee but bottles are kept back in the cellars and left of the lees for an extended period of time. These bottles are disgorged with significant bottles age, with the extra time on the lees keeps it fresh, but also means even more complexity.

Bollinger Vieilles Vignes Francaises

The Vieilles Vignes Francaises is a remarkable Champagne. Taken from an ever-shrinking and absolutely minuscule plot of pre-phylloxera Pinot Noir vines grafted on their own rootstock. The quality is immense and the Champagne, unique. It is perhaps the most collectable Champagne of them all. There are, however, fewer than 1,000 bottles made, making it almost impossible to find.

Le Cote Aux Enfants

This is a new micro-cuvee. It comes from one of the best and most revered plots of Pinot Noir in the region. This plot yields just a couple of thousand bottles. It has made an instant impression, with Champagne expert Richard Juhlin commenting, “Vieilles Vignes Françaises will always be the great canon, but elegance is greatest at La Côte aux Enfants and having them meet in a harmonious meeting of masters is a heavenly dream reachable on earth. A world-class wine is born!’

Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes

vinum 93

100% Pinot Noir Blanc de Noirs. Base vintage 2018 with reserve wines back to 20009. Predominantly from Ay. Has a mid-gold colour with a hint of something burnished about it. "Looks" powerful! Indeed, it does deliver a muscular and powerful expression, combining deeply-pitched Blanc de Noirs fruit with the richness and solar qualities of 2018. The aromas have notes of butter-rich pastry, red fruits and nougat. With air, and especially on the palate, Maillard reaction brulee characters start to come through. The density and richness of fruit is a fine foil for the low dosage style. The acidity is sufficient for balance, but on the more moderate end of the scale, but there’s no lack of thrust through the mid-palate. This is all about the drama and impact of Ay Pinot and it delivers that in spades, with lots of dark berry fruit flooding through onto the dry finish. The savoury aspects on the very end mean tthis finishes with an umami twist. [Matthew Hemming, 01/07/2023]
