Over its long history, Bollinger has built a reputation for producing rich, structured, Pinot Noir–driven Champagnes. The “Grande Année” (vintage) cuvée is released only in exceptional years and is aged extensively. The rare Rosé version is an even more selective bottling, combining the excellence of the vintage base wine with a still red wine from Bollinger’s Côte aux Enfants vineyard to enhance depth and complexity.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer and Wine Maker\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eBollinger’s in-house blending and technical team crafted this Rosé version by starting with the La Grande Année 2014 base (vintage blanc) and adding approximately \u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e5%\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e red wine from their own Côte aux Enfants vineyard in Aÿ.
