Bollinger Special Cuvee Rose Champagne 75cl

Product Description

Bollinger Rose is made by adding red wine. Bollinger has always had a singular relationship with red wine & a personal bond with neighbouring Burgundy. Bollinger achieves the highest level of its quality commitments because they are based on its natural, historic & strategic strengths. Everything starts with the selection of grapes almost exclusively from Bollinger's Grands Crus vineyards, & Verzenay. The grapes' excellence is equalled only by the highest standards of vine-tending until the harvest: choice of optimal maturity, low yield, successive sorting & destemming. Then come the vatting & maturing in wooden barrels. Red wine accounts for 5 to 6% of the Special Cuvee blend giving birth to Bollinger Rose But a cuvee's singularity amounts to more than the sum of its parts & tasting it reveals the mystery of the Bollinger style. Red wine rocks the tidy order of the Special Cuvee, giving it a power of aromatic affirmation as well as a freedom of tone & spirit, a sparkle & a particular presence. The colour of Bollinger Rosムcombines the rich bronze highlights of the Special Cuvãƒe & the intense depth of the red wine. This could be the tint of the raw flesh of wild salmon barely reddened over charcoal. It is a light & a depth. It is the colour of a great wine. The wine reveals all the fullness of expression of the Special Cuvãƒe to the nose. All Bollinger is there: presence & modesty, power & delicacy. & yet other notes come to the fore in the mouth: small wild berries in the countryside on hot summer afternoons. Raspberries, blackberries, gooseberries € the first note of acidity is jolted by the sensuousness of the flesh. An impertinent flavour dances in the mouth, but the lively, joyous sparkle of the fruit is always contained by the wine's precise structure, which gains in fullness & climaxes with mellow notes that stay on the palate & resound in the memory for a long time.
