Blend of the 2014 vintage:
61% Pinot Noir, 39% Chardonnay.
19 crus : Mainly Aÿ and Verzenay for the Pinot Noir, Chouilly and Oiry for the Chardonnay.
Exclusive use of the cuvée. Fermented entirely in aged oak barrels.
At Bollinger, only very high quality harvests become a vintage : the 2014 vintage gave rise to a wine that is simultaneously structured, rich and complex, in terms of both its minerality and exceptional intensity.
Maturation:
Sealed with a natural cork and cellar aged for more than twice the time required by the appellation.
Dosage:
Moderate, 8 grams per litre.
To the eye:
Tinted with golden glints that reflect the wine’s maturity and Bollinger vinification techniques.
To the nose:
A precise and fruity nose with a slight scent of sea-air. Aromas of cherry and lemon mingle with quince and bergamot. Then notes of hazelnut and almond, peach and mirabelle plum complete this wine’s range of aromas.
On the palate:
The initial sensation is a fine and intense effervescence, followed by a wonderful vinosity, and then balanced with delicate acidity. Its very fine texture and sea-air finish bring excellent length on the palate, accompanied by a delicate minerality and the complex flavours of orchard fruit and citrus. This wine unfurls gradually, revealing its full potential and intensity.
Mediterranean sea bass with grenailles potatoes and courgette flowers.
Langoustine ravioli with foie gras and fleur de sel.
King scallops pan-fried in citrus butter with Kombu Royal seaweed.
