Lifestyle publication Tipsy Diaries published National Rosè Day with Champagne Bollinger, which highlighted both pink-hued expressions from the house, Rosé NV and La Grande Année Rosé 2007. The writer reinforces how special both wines are in her descriptions:
“Bollinger Rosé is made in limited quantities so if you get your hands on one of these, you’re already ahead of the game. Demonstrating unique blending and red-wine-making skills, the blend is, on average 62% Pinot Noir, 24% Chardonnay and 14% Pinot Meunier. The result is an exceptional rosé that’s more fruit driven than savory. With notes of red apple, cherry, and wild strawberry, it’s a real stunner.”
She isn’t wrong by noting that “No matter the bottle of Bollinger, you’re getting the tête de cuvée.” She elaborates by explaining that this wine is only produced in certain vintages, adding “La Grande Année Rosé is another expression of La Grande Année, Champagne Bollinger’s prestige cuvée. It’s the unique blend between this great vintage Champagne and a red wine from the legendary Côte aux Enfants. La Grande Année Rosé is famous for its promise of exceptional aging qualities, richness and perfectly balanced aromas.”

Lily Bollinger agreed to a Bollinger rosé under one condition, it had to be extraordinary, and that is how La Grande Année Rosé was born. A blend like no other, the wine is as an extension to the House's prestige cuvée, La Grande Année, as is the subtle marriage between this great vintage Champagne and the addition of red wine from a unique plot, the legendary Côte aux Enfants.

In the same way that Special Cuvée stands apart from non-vintage Champagnes, Bollinger Rosé is an exception for Rosé Champagnes. What is more, it is a relative secret, as Bollinger did not release a non-vintage Rosé until 2008 and the quantity produced is quite limited. The wine begins as Special Cuvée and then Bollinger's specialty as the Pinot Noir producer in Champagne takes center stage, as the red fruits that join the conversation dance vibrantly, the finish has just a hint of perfectly repeat tannin, and the deep complexity of the wine shines through transparently.

Bollinger is one of the rare Grande Marques that’s still family owned. Known for its rich, elegant and polished style of Champagne, their outstanding wines are the result of rigorous attention to detail and incredibly labor-intensive practices that few houses are willing to undertake. Underscoring its excellence, Bollinger has remained British secret agent James Bond's Champagne of choice since 1973.
