"Delicate pink reflections. A nose full of primary aromas, offering a delicious composition of fruit flavours, blending strawberry juice, mandarin and rhubarb. Silky, the prelude to a voluptuous, juicy wine. On the palate, stone fruits set the tone ahead of a finish full of blood orange notes, a harmonious combination which shapes a tannic and elegant structure. A delicate hint of oiliness on the finish brings the tasting to a close." - House Notes
"Bollinger's 2015 Brut La Grande Année Rosé was disgorged in May last year with seven grams per liter dosage. Offering up deep aromas of orchard fruits, blood orange, mandarin rind and peach mingled with nuances of coffee, praline and fino sherry, it's medium to full-bodied, pillowy and layered, with a broad attack that segues into a vinous palate framed by high levels of structuring dry extract that makes its presence felt on the sapid, nutty and penetrating finish. Given the skin maturity and inherent structure of the year, the Bollinger team elected to include only 4.5% of still red wine in the blend, a comparatively low percentage." - 96 Points, William Kelley, Wine Advocate
"Coppery bronze in colour, this is intensely fragrant echoing the lightly smoky, oxidative notes of its white counterpart and showing notes of fresh red berries; they are reprised when you taste the wine with a touch of raspberry fruit sweetness tempered by a lively refreshing acidity alongside the extra phenolic grip that comes from the addition of 5% of red wine from Bollinger’s 4 ha vineyard, La Côte Aux Enfants. Rich and bold in its flavours, its freshness brings an elegant balance to a super-vinous champagne." - 95 Points, Anthony Rose, The Real Review
