The 2008 harvest is a perfect example. It is characterized by a remarkable grape’s maturity and an exceptional acidity. This harvest offers an incredibly deep champagne, an exceptional cuvée.
It is elaborated from 71% Pinot Noir and 29% Chardonnay, with a vinification in small casks. Grande Année 2008 has been raised in cellar for twice the length of the appelation’s requirements.
The eye unveils golden hues which is a sign of the wine's maturity and Bollinger's wine-making methods.
The nose offers aromatic complexity and depth, with spicy, floral and fruity notes.
The palate is dense, harmonious and offers a beautiful freshness.
La Grande Année 2008 is a must-have for a gastronomic meal. It is delicious with a creamy poultry, a grilled lobster or even a Comté cheese.
You can enjoy Bollinger’s Grande Année 2008 immediately, or choose to store it in your cellar ... but this might be quite a challenge to wait!
