Bollinger fremstiller kun Champagne La Grande Année (LGA) i de helt exceptionelle år. Vinens første gæring foregår på egetræsfade og den efterfølgende flaskelagring foregår på flaske med korkprop. Den store andel Pinot Noir giver vinen kolossal kraft og fylde, og druernes fornemme oprindelse forklarer den fantastiske kompleksitet og det superbe lagringspotentiale. Vinifikationen foregår udelukkende på små egetræsfade, som i gennemsnit er 20 år gamle.

Bollinger råder i alt over 3.500 egetræsfade. Alt arbejde med at lave vinen foregår ved håndkraft, fra vinhøsten til Champagnen kommer på flaske: Hver flaske er således blevet håndteret mindst 40 gange når den kommer på flaske. Ingen detalje overlades til tilfældigheder.

Druerne kommer udelukkende fra Grand Cru og 1. Cru vinmarker. Pinot Noir druerne kommer primært fra Aÿ og Verzenay Montagne de Reims og Chardonnay-druerne fra Le Mesnil-sur-Oger og Oiry i Côte des Blancs. La Grande Année er prestigechampagnen, som altid bliver rost til skyerne og som i hver årgang, får topanmeldelser af både internationale og danske vinanmeldere.

Vinen har en indtagende bouquet af hvide blomster, citrusfrugt og krydderier, smagen er afgrundsdyb kompleks, med en let cremet struktur og slutter meget flot kalket og mineralsk af med et snert af salt, eftersmagen varer flere minutter! La Grande Année har et meget stort lagringspotentiale.

The 2014 La Grande Année is stunning. In fact, it is one of the best recent editions I can remember tasting. What comes through most is the wine’s sizzling energy and tension, qualities that aren’t often associated with Bollinger, where the Champagnes tend to show more breadth and volume. In 2014, readers will find a Grande Année built on linear intensity and drive. The 2014 is a blend taken from 19 villages, 61% Pinot Noir and 39% Chardonnay instead of the more typical 70/30 mix. For the second time in two decades (the first was 2007), Verzenay takes the lead in the Pinots over Aÿ, more or less an inverse from the norm. Verzenay, a north-facing village in the Montagne de Reims that saw less rain than Aÿ and most of the Vallée de la Marne, yields Pinots of energy more than volume. That, married with Chardonnays mostly from the Côtes des Blancs (predominantly Chouilly, Vertus, Oiry and Cramant), results in a truly magical Grande Année that will delight Champagne fans for several decades. I can’t recommend the 2014 highly enough. It’s a total knock-out. Disgorged: April, 2021. Dosage: 8 grams per liter.

61% pinot noir, 39% chardonnay from 19 crus, mainly Aÿ and Verzenay for pinot noir and Chouilly and Oiry for chardonnay; 79% grand crus and 21% premier crus; fermented and aged entirely in oak barrels of around 20 years of age; tiraged under cork; riddled and disgorged by hand; 8g/L dosage; disgorged April 2021. The 2014 vintage was the product of a year of mixed fortunes. A rainy autumn and winter gave way to two parched, sunny months, of which June was the sunniest in 50 years. Then there was summer, August in particular, when we saw especially cold weather. Fine weather in September made for a notably brief harvest yielding grapes of balanced maturity and acidity. I love the way in which Champagne’s cooler seasons are captured with articulate detail by a house of such towering amplitude as Bollinger, showcased with ever greater clarity, thanks to its increasingly fanatical attentiveness in the vines and the wines. The cool summer of 2014 played this out in intricate detail to magnificent effect, blessing it first with a bright radiance to its medium straw hue and second to a lead of fantastic energy and freshness. The wonderfully pure red cherries of Verzenay leap forth, backed by the spice of Aÿ and a more incisive lemon and white peach precision than expected from Chouilly and Oiry. Its chalk minerality is likewise heightened, more crystalline and textural than ever, amplifying freshness and stamina, drawing out an incredible finish of pinpoint detail. In the midst of such radiance, the exuberant presence that defines Bollinger rumbles away in great depth through the mid-palate and close, with all the theatrics of mixed spice, fig, dried nectarine and toasted brioche culminating in wonderfully voluptuous texture. A truly great Bollinger by every measure, blessed with incredible longevity, and grand testimony to the wizardry of this house to draw out all the glories of endurance and elegance from a less than simple season.
