Bollinger La Grande Annee 1999
La Grande Année is the Prestige Cuvée of Champagne Bollinger. It is only produced when exceptional quality harvests occur, and is the expression of Bollinger's know-how. More than the illustration of the vintage particularity, La Grande Année is the result of the Bollinger style, of its exceptional terroir and traditional wine making techniques. La Grande Année develops a beautiful rounded structure and combines rich, complex and intense aromas. Wine Spectator A beautiful Champagne, from the complex floral-, coffee- and brioche-scented nose to the graphite, vanilla and citrus flavors. Light-weight and intense, with a lively structure and a long, lingering finish. Drink now through 2018. 2,500 cases imported. Score: 94. —Bruce Sanderson, November 15, 2007.Burghound (a classic blend of two-thirds Pinot Noir and the remainder in Chardonnay) This is a more elegant and perhaps more feminine wine compared to the Special Cuvee and I was struck by just how youthful this is even at 8 years of age. Indeed this is almost a shame to open it now as the nose and the flavors very much need more bottle age to really blossom and develop and while it would not be fair to say they are one-dimensional, the potential on display here is evident. I would suggest cellaring this for at least another 5 to 6 years and 10 to 15 is not out of the question for those who enjoy well-aged examples. An excellent champagne but patience is definitely required. -Issue 28. Score: 93. —Allen Meadows, Customers who purchased this item also bought:
