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.
LEGRAS Cuvée Saint Vincent Brut Grand Cru Chouilly Champagne R&L Legras 2012
100% Chardonnay from Chouilly. Made from old vines, careful selection of grapes and only made in certain vintages. Dosage 4 g/l. <br> Very smoky stinky. Cordite grip, lime-streaked, structural, bold, determined and slightly austere. An edge of petrichor and rainstorm drama. Fine, fine bubbles. A dramatic wine that will age even further – I'd probably wait a couple of years before opening it.
