Sparkling Wines

Pinot Noir derived from two single plots adjacent to the House in Aÿ: non-grafted vines grown in the traditional en foule layering system and worked entirely by hand.

Light gold in color with great brilliance, it has a nose marked by elegant and persuasive aromas ranging from fresh to dried fruit, from custard to citrus fruits, from fresh mint to honey. Impressive lightness on the palate where acidity and rigorous minerality play on each other. Very long persistence with citrus memories.

Plénitude 2 expresses the second life of Dom Pérignon, patiently and expertly elevated to new heights of excellence and projected towards eternity. After almost fifteen years of slow transformation in the cellars, the energy of Dom Pérignon expands and reaches the apex of an essential and radiant vitality in its state of Plénitude. Raised to new heights, it manifests itself in all its...

Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 2008 bears witness to an exceptional vintage in a decade of scorching and generous sunshine. The gray and overcast skies that characterized the spring and summer of 2008 led to a lack of light and heat. The maturity of the grapes exceeded all expectations, revealing a balance of extraordinary elegance. The bouquet opens immediately on hints of raspberry, followed by...

"The 2009 Rosé Comtes de Champagne is one of the very finest recent editions I can recall. The intensity of both the Pinot and the vintage comes through loud and clear in a vinous, resonant Comtes Rosé that is engaging right out of the gate. Dark red berry fruit, spice, crushed flowers and blood orange are some of the many notes that meld together seamlessly. The 2009 is a truly special...

"The 2008 Comtes de Champagne Rosé is bright, steely and finely chiseled right out of the gate. It shows quite a bit or energy and also more overall tension than the Blanc today. It will be interesting to see how the 2008 ages, and if the fruit ever emerges. I suspect the 2008 will always remain a rather nervous Rosé, even if it is quite striking today. Crushed red berry fruit, mint, chalk...

"The 2013 Extra-Brut Clos des Goisses is fabulous. Readers will have to be patient, as the 2013 is in no mood to show all its cards. The late harvest produced a bristling, intensely saline Clos des Goisses that will require years to be at its best. Even so, its depth, textural resonance and finish are so evocative as to what the future holds. The 2013 is a positively stunning Champagne and...

Taste: lively attack thanks to a low dosage that respects the authenticity of the wine. You can feel the minerality of the chalk. Flavors of citrus, almond, toasted bread immediately impose themselves

"The 2014 La Grande Année is stunning. In fact, it is one of the best recent editions I can remember tasting. What comes through most is the wine’s sizzling energy and tension, qualities that aren’t often associated with Bollinger, where the Champagnes tend to show more breadth and volume. In 2014, readers will find a Grande Année built on linear intensity and drive. The 2014 is a blend...

A rich and complex bouquet revealing aromas of tart and candied fruits (lemon), citrus notes, where pollen (white flower), toasted hazelnut and Madagascar vanilla mingle. With aeration, the bouquet is enriched with sweet pastry and smoky notes from bottle ageing. Mouthfeel inviting, concentrated and chalky at the same time. The incredible tension and aromatic precision are perfectly...

The Vieilles Vignes Françaises are intimately linked to the history of Champagne Bollinger. Ungrafted, they carry a memory that has almost disappeared: an extraordinary and moving heritage memory, that of pre-phylloxera Champagne. Les Chaudes Terres and Clos St Jacques in Aÿ constitute the legendary plots of Vieilles Vignes Françaises of Maison Bollinger. For this vintage of Vieilles Vignes...
