2004 Bollinger Grande Annee Rose
Secondary Description
Although founded in the early nineteenth century, Bollinger`s most famous owner was Lily Bollinger, Her frequent excursions to inspect vines by bicycle became legendary and even today the details and fundamentals of production are more exactingly practised here than at many prestigious addresses in the region. Very few houses keep two thirds of a million magnums of petillant wine in reserve for up to twenty years just for their non vintage! (CW 10/03/15)

Bright orange-pink. Potent, mineral-accented aromas of redcurrant and blood orange, with smoke, anise and floral accents and a hint of chalky minerals. Sappy red berry and candied citrus flavors show excellent vivacity and put on weight with air. Finishes plush and expansive, with bitter orange pith and ginger notes adding lift and bite. Showing impressive complexity now but this should be even better in a couple of years. 94 points
