2014 Bollinger - Brut La Grande Annee (750ml)
98 Points
"The 2014 La Grande Année is stunning. In fact, it is one of the best recent editions I can

remember tasting. What comes through most is the wine’s sizzling energy and tension,

qualities that aren’t often associated with Bollinger, where the Champagnes tend to show

more breadth and volume. In 2014, readers will find a Grande Année built on linear intensity

and drive.

The 2014 is a blend taken from 19 villages, 61% Pinot Noir and 39% Chardonnay instead of

the more typical 70/30 mix. For the second time in two decades (the first was 2007),

Verzenay takes the lead in the Pinots over Aÿ, more or less an inverse from the norm.

Verzenay, a north-facing village in the Montagne de Reims that saw less rain than Aÿ and

most of the Vallée de la Marne, yields Pinots of energy more than volume. That, married with

Chardonnays mostly from the Côtes des Blancs (predominantly Chouilly, Vertus, Oiry and

Cramant), results in a truly magical Grande Année that will delight Champagne fans for

several decades. I can’t recommend the 2014 highly enough. It’s a total knock-out.
