Bollinger Grande Annee Brut Champagne(1999)

La Grande Année is the Prestige Cuvée of Champagne Bollinger.
It is only produced when exceptional quality harvests occur, and is the expression of Bollinger’s know-how.
More than the illustration of the vintage particularity, La Grande Année is the result of the Bollinger style,
of its exceptional “terroir” and traditional wine making techniques.
La Grande Année develops a beautiful rounded structure and combines rich, complex and intense aromas,
the expression of which changes according to the characteristics of the vintage.

mmmm, well integrated at almost 8 years old with huge biscuity and oaky flavours, but not overwhelming and a lot of nuance. I drank this on 01/01/2008 and I'm still tasting it the day after.

One of the finest vintage Champagnes now available. A rich, big-flavored, extremely dry style. This wine will continue to gain complexity.
