65% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay.
21 crus: Mainly Aÿ and Verzenay for the Pinot Noir, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oiry for the Chardonnay.
5% red Côte aux Enfants wine.
Exclusive use of the cuvée.
Fermented entirely in barrels.
At Bollinger, only very high quality harvests become a vintage: the exceptional 2012 vintage led to Bollinger creating expressive wines that were simultaneously full, fresh and complex.
Maturation: Sealed with a natural cork and cellar aged for more than twice the time required by the appellation.
Dosage: Moderate, 8 grammes per litre
To the eye: A delicate rose derived from La Côte aux Enfants Pinot Noir.
To the nose: Aromas of redcurrant and black fruits accompany lovely notes of citrus.
On the palate: A great deal of delicacy. The freshness and creamy texture are prolonged by a racy finish.

Bollinger Dinner #4. Magnum. Elegant and serious rosé. Wild strawberry, raspberry, red apple, grapefruit, toast, oil. Almost full-bodied, well balanced, deep and well structured. Still feels young.
