Demonstrating unique blending and red-winemaking skills: a true alchemy, a very technical wine.

Tasting Notes:

With its intimate and unusual flavours, Bollinger Rosé can be served for afternoon tea, Bollinger-style.

It is also perfect for a picnic on a summer afternoon, as a predinner drink or served with a fruity and tart dessert.

To fully appreciate its unique style, bouquet and aromas, Bollinger Rosé is best served between 10 and 12°C.

62% Pinot Noir
24% Chardonnay
14% Meunier

Bollinger Rosé displays bronze tones combined with the intense depth of a great red wine.  On the nose is the nobility of red berries: hints of red currant, cherry and wild strawberry; a spicy touch, not unlike Special Cuvée.

On the palate is a subtle combination of structure, length and vivacity, with a tannic finish due to the adjunction of red wine; bubbles as fine as velvet; flavours of wild berries.

Produced with over 85% Grands and Premiers crus, only 5 to 6% red wine is added due to its power.

Bollinger Rosé is cellar aged for more than twice the time required by the appellation and only has a moderate dosage of 7 to 8 grams per liter.

Food Matching:

Crayfish, lobster, one-side cooked salmon.
Japanese cuisine or not-so-spicy Asian cuisine.
Fruit based dessert: fruit soup, strawberry tart, raspberries.

About Bollinger:

The Bollinger House also makes magnificent red wines, such as the legendary Côte aux Enfants, in Aÿ.

Since Bollinger Rosé was created in 2008, the Poirier Saint-Pierre and Montboeuf plots, in Verzenay, are worked in the same style as the Côte aux Enfants plot to complete the production.

Because only great wines make great champagnes.
