BOLLINGER La Grande Annee Champagne 2014
CHAMPAGNE BOLLINGER
Bollinger Champagnes are recognized among a thousand.
Bollinger Champagne is first of all a great wine. It all begins with the vines, and with the pursuit of excellence in the selection of soils. With 163 hectares, Champagne Bollinger exploits its vineyards at more than 60% every year, a situation certainly exceptional in Champagne, and this is what guarantees the qualitative consistency of the style. The same requirement extends to the selection of vineyards. Bollinger supplies more than 80% of Grand and Premier Cru, which make up only 20% of the vineyards of the appellation. The quality of the selected grapes justifies the fact that Bollinger uses only the first pressing at the time of harvest: another exception in Champagne.

-The Estate-
Timeless and mythical, the Champagne House Bollinger, nicknamed “Boll” for the Champenois or “Boly” for the English, is part of the small circle of the very large houses of Champagne. The style of Champagne Bollinger is defined by the exemplary precision brought to each moment of the elaboration. Respect for tradition, hand riddling of bottles, corking of reserve magnum bottles, the last remaining cooper in the Champagne region, this taste for excellence symbolises the entire culture of Champagne Bollinger. More than an art, it is a heritage.
