It remains one of the few major Champagne houses still family controlled. Bollinger has long emphasized extended aging, oak fermentations, and reserve magnums to build complexity and structure. The Rosé version of their prestige cuvée, La Grande Année Rosé, is a rarer expression, blending the white vintage base with red wine from their own Côte aux Enfants parcel to add nuance, color, and texture.\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\"\u003eThe wine is made by Bollinger’s in-house technical and blending team in Aÿ. It is based on the La Grande Année (vintage blend) and enriched with ~5% red wine from Côte aux Enfants. All fermentations are done in oak barrels, and the team manages lees aging, dosage, riddling, and manual disgorgement to maintain precision and finesse.\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\u003eVineyards and Micro Climate\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe base blend is drawn from 11 different crus: ~62 % Pinot Noir (from Verzenay, Aÿ, Mareuil-sur-Aÿ) and ~38 % Chardonnay (from Chouilly, Avize, others) in 2015. The red wine part comes from the Côte aux Enfants vineyard in Aÿ. The climate is Champagne’s cool continental Atlantic influence, with tempered conditions and marked vintage variation.\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\u003eVinification \u0026amp; Aging Methods\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eEverything is vinified in oak barrels. The base wines undergo both alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in barrel. The wine is aged for many years on lees under cork (well over the legal period) before disgorgement. The rosé includes ~5 % of red wine in the blend. Dosage is moderate (~8 g\/L for 2015).\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\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eColor: pale copper to pink hue.
