Bollinger La Grande Année 2007 Jéroboam (3L)

Vintage 2007

$1,390.00

- Iconic cuvée well-known in James Bond, in a spectacular Jéroboam format (3L).

- Pinot dominant style from the great 2007 vintage, fermented and matured in oak

- Will pair well with a richer dish like Veal with a bread and parmesan crust

This release from Bollinger is the refined and powerful La Grande Année vintage 2007. Pinot noir for this harvest across the region did particularly well.

Toast, yellow fruit, brioche and quince rise from the glass and provide an attractive and intense nose. The palate is clean and mineral driven with yellow fruit flowing through.

Add walnut and honeycomb into the mix, coupled with some malt biscuit and spice and the result is a moreish and well-balanced vintage champagne.  

Please note: This prestige cuvée comes from our private cellar to allow for extra-ageing. Please add 2 days to our shipping time.

Club Price $1,320.50 (?) ?

Bollinger remains quite possibly one of the most famous family-owned champagne houses of all. Bollinger are well known for their dominance of the powerful and expressive pinot noir from Aÿ where they were founded, their use of magnums for production of all their wines and a traditional wine making style incorporating fermentation in oak barrels which they have never deviated from. They still have their own in-house cooper who makes and manages their stock of some 3,500 barrels! That equates to about 1 million bottles being fermented in barrel, being the largest (along with Krug) than any other producer in the region. Currently Bollinger own some 164 hectares in some of the best vineyard sites across champagne.

 

"70% pinot, mainly from Aÿ and Verzenay; 30% chardonnay, mainly from Avize, Chouilly and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger; a blend of 13 crus, 95% grand cru and 5% premier cru; a higher proportion of pinot noir than usual because 2005 was believed to be a great season for pinot noir; entirely fermented and matured in oak barrels; aged under natural cork 8.5 years on lees; 6g/L dosage"
