Fragrance: intense

This deeply colored beauty boasts a huge perfume of black raspberries

crème de cassis and dried cherry skin emerge from the bouquet

The palate delivers rich

It’s decidedly dark and brooding on the nose

2015 Brut Champagne La Grande Année Bollinger Rhône-Nord Fragrance: intenseSuckling 96, Enticing, fragrant aromas of toast, lemon zest and an earthy smoky nuance lead to a palate of subtle Bosc pear, mango, papaya, even pineapple flavors. Lifted by fresh acidity on the medium bodied palate, the wine keeps unfolding in toasted walnuts, honey and a dash of bitter marmalade. It's mouth filling, alive with acidity and full of finesse. Drink or hold. Galloni 96, Drinking Window 2028 2040 From: Champagne: The 2024 Spring Preview
