✨ Technical Specifications
Bollinger Rosé is a masterclass in structure and elegance, modeled closely after the house's iconic Special Cuvée. Introduced in 2008 as a permanent addition to the portfolio, it represents a seamless blend of traditional Champagne craftsmanship and Bollinger's historic mastery of Pinot Noir. The secret to its distinctive character lies in the addition of 5% to 6% of still red wine, crafted from legendary grand cru plots in Aÿ and Verzenay, including the famed La Côte aux Enfants. This addition infuses the blend with a delicate bronze-pink hue and a refined, vinous depth. Fermented in seasoned oak casks and aged on its lees for more than twice the appellation's requirement, the wine incorporates a high proportion of reserve wines, some aged in magnums under cork. The result is a highly complex rosé with notes of red berries, toasted brioche, and a signature creamy texture.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1829 in the grand cru village of Aÿ by Hennequin de Villermont, Paul Renaudin, and Jacques Bollinger, Champagne Bollinger stands as one of the most revered and historic family-owned houses in the Champagne region of France. Built upon an unwavering commitment to craftsmanship, the estate is distinguished by its meticulous use of oak barrel fermentation, an on-site cooperage, and extensive cellar aging under natural cork. Pinot Noir forms the powerful, structured backbone of the house style, sourced predominantly from Bollinger's extensive holdings in premier and grand cru vineyards. The house is globally celebrated for its rich and complex cuvées, ranging from the signature Special Cuvée and vintage-dated La Grande Année to the legendary R.D. and the exceptionally rare, ungrafted Vieilles Vignes Françaises.
