Bollinger, La Grande Année Brut, (Magnum) 2018
La Grande Année is Bollinger's prestige cuvée, and the 2018 is one of the most compelling releases in years. Bollinger have always been the Champenois who play by their own rules: high Pinot Noir content, fermentation in old oak barrels, extended ageing on lees, and the 2018 vintage gave them exceptional raw material to work with. A warm, generous growing season delivered ripe, structured fruit without sacrificing the house's signature grip and weight. This is Champagne with genuine backbone - the Honest Grapes team were absolutely blown away when tasting the wine at the estate. Even better, it comes in at 15% less than the previous Grande Année release. Bravo to the Bollinger team!
Bollinger RD, Extra Brut Champagne 2008
Hints of marzipan, cooked apricots, honey, fresh bread and citrus on the nose. Very rich and fine on the palate with more citrus fruit joined by sweet plums before a very clean dry finish.
