Food & Wine’s senior wine critic Ray Isle included Champagne Bollinger La Grand Année 2015 in his latest article, “The Best High-End Champagne for When You Really Want to Treat Yourself.” He notes:
“The latest vintage of Champagne Bollinger’s tête du cuvée was released this Spring, and while the challenging 2015 Champagne vintage wasn’t greeted with unanimous excitement throughout the region, this particular wine is profoundly impressive. It’s toasty and rich, mixing orchard-fruit flavors (peach, nectarine) with red fruit and blood orange hints. A slight increase in Grand Année’s usual amount of Chardonnay, from 30% to 40%, adds some necessary linearity and precision in this warm year.”

La Grande Année: The Great Year. This Champagne is the embodiment of everything that makes Bollinger the producer that stands apart in Champagne. La Grande Année, or LGA, preserves the traditions of the past and symbolizes the word "hand-crafted" so strongly that an overused word suddenly becomes the only appropriate definition.

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.
