Rosé Brut Bollinger

The wine

The Brut Rosé cuvée was created in 2008. Bollinger Brut Rosé is a classic Bollinger House blend of Pinot Noir (62%), Chardonnay (24%) and Pinot Meunier (14%). Over 85% of the wines originate from grand and premier crus, perfectly illustrating the unwavering commitment of the House to selecting the best quality grapes for its blend. The red wine acts as an agent of style, with an addition of just 5 to 6% given its power. This Champagne is produced from parcels located in Poirier Saint-Pierre, Montboeuf in Verzenay or even Aÿ depending on the vintages. These vines there are tended with the same meticulous care as those planted in the legendary plot of La Côte aux Enfants.
Brut Rosé delivers aromas of red berries (redcurrant, cherry, wild strawberry) and a touch of spice. The palate is a successful balance between power, sweetness (dosage between 8 and 9 gr/L) and fruit. The perfect choice for the aperitif or a gastronomic culinary experience!

About the Producer Bollinger

"Before being a great Champagne, Bollinger is first and foremost a great wine". It is undeniable, a Bollinger spirit actually exists. In the wines certainly, but also in Aÿ. The involvement and seriousness of the people involved in the design of these great wines closely contribute to their success. Bollinger is also one of the few rare Champagne houses to have remained as a family since its creation in 1829. The maison was founded by Athanase de Villermont who had inherited the vineyard of Champagne, Joseph Bollinger, a German merchant and Paul Renaudin, a Champenois who was passionate about wine. The Bollinger and Villermont families united their fate at the same time as their profession with Joseph Bollinger's marriage to Louise-Charlotte, Athanase's daughter. Their children would take over the rein. There is a 163-hectare vineyard located, for more than 80%, in grands and premiers crus, and providing over 60% of its needs in grapes. One of the interesting facts about this maison is the preponderance of Pinot Noir which gives great flavour and strength to the champagnes. Another particularity of the maison is that part of the fermented reserve wines in wood is then conserved in magnums, with cork stoppers, for 5 to 12 years before being incorporated into the whole. Finally, on the management side, in September 2007, Ghislain de Mongolfier handed over the reins to Jérôme Philipon who followed in his footsteps while emulating his style. This all went well and there is no doubt that the brand continues to shine in the starry sky of Champagne.
