The Great Year Rosé 2012 Bollinger with Box

The Great Year Rosé 2012 by Bollinger is a rosé Champagne of great personality, presented with a box and designed for those seeking a prestigious label, refined yet gastronomic. It is born from a blend of the 2012 vintage with 67% Pinot Noir and 33% Chardonnay, and tells the stylistic signature of the house with balance: intensity, finesse, and depth, combined with precise freshness and a creamy texture.

Territory and style of the wine

This Champagne comes from 21 crus, with a significant presence of Aÿ and Verzenay for the Pinot Noir, and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oiry for the Chardonnay. The choice of only the cuvée and the fermentation entirely in barrels contribute to defining a rich, complex, and highly elegant profile. The 2012 vintage, considered exceptional, allowed Bollinger to create an expressive, full-bodied rosé that is also bright, with a character that combines structure and freshness.

The structure is present yet elegant, supported by a beautiful tension and a moderate dosage that keeps the profile balanced and harmonious.
