Bollinger 1996 La Grande Annee (1,5L 12%)
A truly exceptional vintage Champagne in a magnum bottle that celebrates one of Bollinger's most prestigious vintages.
La Grande Année 1996 is the embodiment of Bollinger's house style, made only in outstanding vintages. The Pinot Noir-dominated blend (around 65%) is complemented by Chardonnay (around 35%), with grapes coming exclusively from Grand and Premier Cru sites. Aged in oak barrels and on the lees for many years, then refined in magnum bottle — a unique format that further enhances the wine's complexity and depth. The nose reveals exotic fruits, brioche, hazelnut, fine mineral notes and the elegance of a mature Champagne. The palate is full, complex and layered, with vibrant acidity and an exceptionally long finish. A rare collector's piece for true Champagne enthusiasts.
