Sensations
Appearance: Yellow gold refl ections, evidence of the wine’s maturity, but also of Bollinger’s
vinifi cation methods.
On the nose: Initial scents are full of small stone fruits, with notes of Pomme Gris, plum
and Mirabelle plum, layered with a touch of honey. Aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant,
cherry, and raspberry follow: a medley of red fruits dances with notes of almond. Exotic
touches of mango follow, dissolving into tertiary scents of vanilla and a delicate woody
aroma.
On the palate: On the palate the wine is plump, generous and enticing, reminiscent of
Mirabelle plum jam. Texture and richness defi ne the tasting experience. The fi nish blends
notes of chocolate and citrus fruits, bringing a touch of acidity, lengthened further by hints
of schist. A hugely generous wine!
