Champagne Bollinger La Grande Année Rosé 2018
Champagne
November 09, 2026 - La Grande Année Rosé is a singular expression of La Grande Année, distinguished by the addition of red wine from the iconic La Côte aux Enfants vineyard. This legendary Aÿ parcel is owned entirely by Champagne Bollinger and vinified into red wine only in years when the grapes reach optimum ripeness.

The result is a cuvée of exceptional purity, reflecting the full expertise and savoir-faire of the Maison.
