Notes - La Grande Année is Bollinger’s Prestige Cuvée and is only produced when exceptional vintages occur. The grapes come exclusively from Grands and Premiers Crus. For this 1999 vintage, wine from 17 villages has been included, 82% from Grand Crus and 18% from Premier Crus. Bollinger use only the‘cuvée’ juice in the making of La Grande Année. The first fermentation is always carried out 100% in old oak barrels, which is quite exceptional in champagne. After assemblage, La Grande Anneé is aged in Bollinger's cellars for a minimum of six years, using a real cork stopper, before manual disgorgement. Serve with Warm foie gras, Coquilles St Jacques, calves’ sweetbreads, game and Reblochon cheese. "The newly released 1999 Grande Année is stunning. Bollinger is characterised by its richness and structure and the 1999 doesn't disappoint. Ripe pears, spice, a touch of toffee on the nose, held together by a structured palate. Suprisingly approachable, although will take on extra layers of complexity over the years.” Christine Austin, Yorkshire Post, November 2006.
