- TASTING NOTE: A beautiful aromatic complexity. Ripe fruit and spicy aromas, hints of roasted apples, apple compote and peaches. On the palate the wine is a subtle combination of structure, length and vivacity. Bubbles like velvet, pear, brioche and spicy aromas, notes of fresh walnut.

ABOUT THE WINE: Made from a majority of reserve wines, part of which have been aged in large format bottles for 5 to 15 years. Grape are sourced from over 85% Grand and Premier Crus.
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Based in Aÿ, Bollinger has created prestigious champagnes since 1829. The Bollinger vineyards cover 179 hectares, most of which are classified Grand or Premier Cru with Pinot Noir the predominate variety. Continuity of style is ensured by an exceptional collection of over 800,000 reserve magnums and the best crus are vinified in wood thanks to a stock of 4,000 small, aged casks maintained by the in-house cooper. The house lets its wines mature for twice as long as the appellation requirement. A prominent brand in popular culture, the house is well known as the Champagne of choice of James Bond and was first featured in the fourth James Bond novel Diamonds Are Forever in 1956. It's most famous wines are the single vintage La Grand Anneé and R.D. and the Vieilles Vignes Françaises Blanc de Noirs, which is produced from two Grand Cru plots of pre-phylloxera Pinot Noir, adjacent to the house in Aÿ.
