Bollinger La Grande Annee 2015
Notes from the producer
Bollinger only produces vintage wines from the finest quality harvests. At Bollinger, the 2015 vintage produced a wine full of concentration and genericity in equal measure.
Appearance: Yellow gold reflections, evidence of the wine's maturity, but also of Bollinger's vinification methods.
Nose: Initial scents are full of small stone fruits, with notes of Pomme Gris, plum and Mirabelle plum, layered with a touch of honey. Aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, cherry, and raspberry follow, a medley of red fruits dances with notes of almond. Exotic touches of mango follow; dissolving into tertiary scents of vanilla and a delicate woody aroma.
Palate: On the palate the wine is plump, generous and enticing, reminiscent of Mirabelle plum jam. Texture and richness define the tasting experience. The finish blends notes of chocolate and citrus fruits, bringing a touch of acidity lengthened further by hints of schist. A hugely generous wine.
