Bollinger Rose NV Champagne 750ml

96 Points. Pale with a lovely pink hue – tiny persistent bead – cherries, raspberries and strawberries on the nose. Dry with lovely red fruit medley and driving acidity, keeping mouthfeel fresh. Delicious generous style. SA Screaming red florals – juicy raspberry, red cherry, liquorice, violet. Epic line and length, darker scented palate. Great drinking with a lick of toastiness! MD

SENSATIONS To the eye: A bright rosé with subtle golden hues. To the nose: The nobility of red berries: hints of red currant, cherry and wild strawberry; a spicy touch, not unlike Special Cuvée. On the palate: A subtle combination of structure, length and vivacity, with a tannic finish due to the adjunction of red wine; bubbles as fine as velvet; flavours of wild berries.

Blend: 62% Pinot Noir, 24% Chardonnay, 14% Meunier. Only 5 to 6% red wine added due to its power.

Over 85% Grands and Premiers crus. Exclusive use of the cuvee. Maturation: cellar aged for more than twice the time required by the appellation. Dosage: moderate, 7 to 8 grams per litre.
