Bollinger Rose

Bollinger Rosé Non Vintage Champagne, Ay, France 

Grapes: A blend of 62% Pinot Noir, 24% Chardonnay and 14% Meunier. Only 5 to 6% red wine added due to its power. Over 85% Grand and Premier crus 

Producer Tasting Note:

To the eye: Bronze tones combined with the intense depth of a great red wine. To the nose: The nobility of red berries: hints of red currant, cherry and wild strawberry A spicy touch, not unlike Special Cuvée To the palate: A subtle combination of structure, length and vivacity, with a tannic finish due to the adjunction of red wine Bubbles as fine as velvet Flavours of wild berries. Fantastic, quality rosé Champagne. 

Critics' Tasting Notes:

"Pale orangey-grey colour reminiscent of a vin gris. Really dense, mature nose that hints at oak ageing. Great spread across the palate with real extract and density. Not sure this is really an aperitif but more of a champagne to drink with shellfish. Lobster salad, anyone? Long, pretty dry (but certainly not bone-dry) finish. Intellectually stimulating."

17/20 points, Jancis Robinson, jancisrobinson.com, February 2021

"Medium salmon pink, silver reflections, fine, lively mousse. Preserved cherry, berry confit, red apple, delicate nougat underneath. Juicy, elegant, fresh stone fruit nuances, hints of nectarine, some blossom honey on the finish, good freshness on the finish, mineral aftertaste."
