History
La Grande Année Rosé is another expression of La Grande Année, enhanced by the
addition of a unique red wine from the Côte aux Enfants. This iconic Aÿ vineyard, owned
entirely by the Maison, is only vinifi ed to make red wine when grapes achieve optimal
ripeness. After vinifi cation in small old oak barrels and extended lees ageing, each bottle
of La Grande Année Rosé is, to this day, still riddled and disgorged by hand. It refl ects the
savoir-faire and expertise of Maison Bollinger, creators of a cuvée that is as exceptional as
it is pure.
