La Grande Année is the embodiment of the carefully preserved traditional expertise of the Bollinger Champagne House. Vinification takes place exclusively in small old oak barrels (20 years old on average), maintained in Bollinger’s cooperage, of which there are more than 3,500. Bollinger has never abandoned this traditional craft method, which helps develop aromas of great finesse. Riddling and disgorging are performed entirely by hand, and take place after ageing on the lees in bottles with, natural corks. La Grande Année 2014 is the perfect champagne for gourmet food.
