winemaker's notes:
The grapes come exclusively from Grands and Premiers Crus.
17 villages have entered in the 1999 blend, 82% from Grands Crus and 18% from Premiers Crus.
The blend of La Grande Année 1999 is composed of 63% Pinot Noir and 37% Chardonnay.
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.
