1999 Bollinger, Grande Année
(code: 63825B)La Grande Année is only made in exceptional years and 1999 was a Grande Année indeed! Five years’ maturation on lees has added a biscuity complexity. Notes of honey, minerals and citrus fruits complete this very fine portrait of a Champagne House at the top of its game. This is serious enough to serve with food; try it with smoked salmon or caviar starters.
Bollinger's president, Ghislain de Montgolfier describes Grand Annee 1999 "as a superb wine, a cross-over of the powerful 1996 and the rich 1989". We couldn't agree more. The overall tasting profile is a very typical Bollinger with rich marzipan aromas, and notes of toffee and bread yeast. The palate is equally charming, yet powerful and structured, with nutty aromas, and some signs of maturity. Another great vintage for Bollinger.
