This is the non-vintage rosé champagne from the House of Champagne Bollinger.
The creation of this non-vintage rosé has been long in the making and a dream for Bollinger for over six years. In the meticulous House style, Bollinger Rosé is modelled on the Special Cuvée blend, combining the fruits of previous harvests plus the addition of reserve wines from their cellars in Aÿ. The final component, which provides colour and delicate aromas of ripe red fruits, is 5% still red wine coming exclusively from Bollinger's Grand Cru Vineyards in the Côte d'Aÿ and Verzenay.
Tasting Notes - A subtle combination of structure, length and vivacity, with a tannic finish due to the addition of red wine; flavours of wild berried and bubbles like velvet
History - The Bollinger House also makes magnificent red wines, such as the legendary Côte aux Enfants, in Aÿ. Since Bollinger Rosé was created in 2008, the Poirier Saint-Pierre and Montboeuf plots, in Verzenay, are worked in the same style as the Côte aux Enfants plot to complete the production... Because only great wines make great champagnes.
Blend: 62% Pinot Noir, 24% Chardonnay, 14% Meunier with only 5 to 6% still red wine added due to its power. Bollinger Rosé is made of over 85% Grands and Premiers crus.
