Champagne Bollinger La Grande Année Rosé 2018

Champagne

May 20, 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.
