Bollinger Rosé

Details

The addition of a superb red wine from the Poirier Saint-Pierre and Montboeuf plots in Verzenay or the ones in Aÿ, worked in the same way as the vines of the legendary Côte aux Enfants plot, lends it an assertive aromatic power. It also boasts a brilliance, presence and delicate quality that are the hallmark of great blends.

• Production
  Blend: 62% Pinot Noir, 24% Chardonnay, 14% Meunier.
  Only 5 to 6% red wine added due to its power.
  Over 85% Grands and Premiers crus.
  Exclusive use of the cuvée.
  Maturation: Cellar aged for more than twice the time required by the appellation.
  Dosage: Moderate, 7 to 8 grams per liter.

• Sensations
  To the eye: A bright rosé with subtle golden hues.
  To the nose: The nobility of red berries: hints of red currant, cherry and wild strawberry;
  a spicy touch, not unlike Special Cuvée.
  On the palate: 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.

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

• 750 ml bottle – Bollinger Rosé is best served between 8 and 10°C
