Bollinger Brut Rosé Champagne

Description

Lovely, rich and fragrant, complex, with lovely biscuity-brioche-maple syrup aromatics, this is an excellent edition of Bolli's rosé. The palate is saturated with flavour, and length is excellent. A broad, firm, stately champagne, that could serve equally well in the living room as well as the dining room. Tasted October 2018. Score - 94. (John Szabo, MS, winealign.com)

Tasting Notes

Bollinger's NV Brut Rosé is a beautiful pink Champagne composed of 62% Pinot Noir, 24% Chardonnay and 14% Pinot Meunier. The wine gets its noble rosé color from 6% of added red wine from vineyards in Verzenay and Aÿ. Bread rolls, a hint of mocha and very fine red fruit aromas on the beautifully pure, fresh and perfumed nose lead to a highly delicate and fruity palate with a silky texture and filigreed structure. This is an aromatic, perfectly balanced and intense Rosé of great elegance and finesse. The finish is clear and fresh but also intense and highly stimulating in its subversive salinity. This is a great Rosé, and although it can surely age, I would always miss the delicacy and perfume of its youth! (Tasted from Lot L1804507 in May 2018). Drink Date: 2018-2021. Score - 93.
