Bollinger 2014 La Grande Annee Champagne Magnum

The 2014 vintage of Bollinger La Grande Année is a blend of 61% Pinot Noir and 39% Chardonnay sourced predominantly from Grand Cru vineyards such as Aÿ, Verzenay, Chouilly, and Oiry. Vinified entirely in aged oak barrels and aged under natural cork, it reveals a golden hue with glints of maturity. On the nose, it offers a precise and fruity bouquet with aromas of cherry, lemon, quince, and bergamot, accented by hints of sea-air and subtle spice. The palate is rich yet finely balanced, with flavors of honey, gingerbread, candied orange, frangipane, walnuts, and dried white flowers, all supported by racy acidity and a chalky, mineral finish. The mousse is delicate and persistent, giving the wine a vinous yet elegant texture that is both powerful and graceful. This Champagne pairs beautifully with refined dishes such as lobster, scallops, turbot, or Dover sole, as well as poultry like guinea fowl or quail prepared with truffle or mushroom sauces. It also complements aged cheeses and dishes with earthy, umami-driven flavors, making it a versatile partner for haute cuisine
