Champagne Bollinger La Grande Année Rosé 2018
Champagne
November 04, 2026 - La Grande Année Rosé is produced only in select vintages, born from Lily Bollinger’s one condition—that any Bollinger rosé must be extraordinary. It is a subtle blend of La Grande Année and a small percentage of red wine from La Côte Aux Enfants, a Grand Cru vineyard in Aÿ used only when Pinot Noir reaches perfect ripeness. Producing red wine of this quality in Champagne is rare, and it showcases the House’s mastery of Pinot Noir. With deep color, balanced aromas, and refined vinosity, La Grande Année Rosé reflects its terroir, with remarkable aging potential.

Champagne Bollinger Rosé
Champagne
November 04, 2026 - Bollinger Rosé is a Champagne that quietly breaks the mold. First released in 2008 and made in limited quantities, it begins as Special Cuvée before a small addition of still Pinot Noir brings vibrant red fruit, a touch of tannin and striking depth. Pinot Noir is the heart of Bollinger, making up at least 60% of all wines and shaping the Rosé’s bold yet elegant character. With one-third fermented in oak, aged for up to eight years and blended with reserve wines from magnums, this Rosé offers freshness, complexity and a silk-like texture.

Champagne Bollinger Special Cuvée
Champagne
November 04, 2026 - Special Cuvée is a Champagne that defies category. Pinot Noir, the most demanding grape in the region, makes up at least 60 percent of the blend, giving structure, depth and signature red fruit. One-third is fermented in oak barrels, adding silkier texture and layered flavor. Reserve wines aged in magnums under cork for up to 15 years are hand disgorged into the blend, bringing richness and complexity. Aged much longer than most Champagnes, Special Cuvée offers freshness, savory nuance and velvety texture. It is a true expression of Bollinger’s devotion at every step.
