Bollinger, La Grande Année Brut 2015
Having received a glowing 96 points from Antonio Galloni and Tyson Stelzer, Bolly has once again knocked it out the park and produced a worthy successor to the best-selling 2014. The house style of Bollinger tends towards richness and power, so in a warm vintage like 2015 the emphasis was on preserving balance and freshness in the wine, and they have very much succeeded. La Grande Année is the embodiment of the carefully preserved traditional expertise of the Bollinger Champagne House. The wine is therefore exclusively vinified in small aged oak barrels. Champagne Bollinger has never abandoned this traditional craft method, which helps develop aromas of great finesse. After a prolonged ageing on its lees, even today every bottle of La Grande Année is riddled and disgorged by hand.
Dom Pérignon, Vintage 2017
Dom Pérignon 2017 stands among the house’s most compelling releases in years — and one of its rarest. Awarded 97 points by Antonio Galloni, it is currently his highest-scoring Champagne of the 2017 vintage. Given that 2002 ranks among Dom Pérignon’s greatest vintages, the comparison speaks volumes - this is a seriously impressive release. What elevates it further is its sheer scarcity. Production amounts to roughly three months of global supply. Galloni notes that the 2017 is barely commercially viable, yet under Chef de Caves Vincent Chaperon, Dom Pérignon continues to bottle these wines as a true record of the year, even when quantities are vanishingly small. We’re very glad they do.
