Brut Rose, 2005. La Grande Annee Bollinger

Grande Annee Brut Rose is salmon pink with copper highlights. Notes of red currant and almonds, then a spicy toasty aroma. Surprisingly vinous, but also very fresh. Cherry, or even kirsch, slightly toasty. All Bollinger is there: presence and modesty, power and delicacy. This wine is not produced every year, as perfect maturity is required at the date of harvest. Thus, La Grande Annee Brut Rose remains an exception; it is a beautifully structured and full-bodied wine, with a deep color and intense aroma.
