The production of La Grande Année Rosé 2015 Bollinger

La Grande Année Rosé 2015 champagne is a blend of 62% Pinot Noir and 38% Chardonnay.

To complete this blend, 5% red wine from the famous La Côte aux Enfants vineyard is added, bringing structure and a delicate color to this rosé. True to Bollinger tradition, fermentation takes place in oak barrels. This method gives La Grande Année Rosé its texture and complexity.
