Tasting Notes
Appearance
Pale golden colour with a persistent fine bead, reflecting the wine's quality and extended maturation on lees that defines Bollinger's exceptional craftsmanship.
Aroma
The nose displays elegant brioche aromas complemented by yeasty notes, showcasing the wine's complexity and careful winemaking. Subtle hints of toasted almonds, honey, and dried fruits add depth, whilst the bouquet remains inviting and expressive, reflecting the extended ageing that defines Bollinger's distinguished house style.
Palate
Full-bodied and mature, the palate is dry with toasty characteristics that deliver a round and rich flavour profile. This Champagne achieves perfect balance between firmness and freshness, creating exceptional harmony throughout. The wine displays great length equal to its richness, with the persistent fine bead adding elegance and liveliness. Toasted bread, butter, and subtle spice notes from extended lees ageing complement the wine's natural richness, whilst the structure provides backbone and the freshness ensures the wine remains vibrant and refined. This is the definitive "masculine" style in Champagne terms, offering power and elegance in perfect balance—a masterful blend of 60% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay, and 15% Pinot Meunier from over 85% Grands and Premiers Crus vineyards.
Pairs With
This prestigious Champagne, beautifully presented in a gift box, pairs exquisitely with fresh oysters, grilled lobster, pan-seared scallops, roast chicken, aged Comté or Parmesan, smoked salmon, caviar, and is perfect for celebration occasions and special gifts.
