Barrel winemaking: savoir-faire guarded by Champagne Bollinger
La Grande Année is the very embodiment of an exceptional and timeless champagne. Craftsmanship savoir-faire is at the heart of its production. One of these artisanal techniques is winemaking, which takes place in oak barrels about 20 years old. This helps the wine develop complex aromas and, through micro-oxygenation, gives it extraordinary aging potential.
At Bollinger, the 2014 vintage yielded a precise, fine and complex wine due to its minerality and exceptional intensity.
