Bollinger, La Grande Annee Vintage:2002 This is the biggest wine

This is the biggest wine in the range yet impeccably wellbalanced and if not exactly refined

opulent wine that hides its structure under all the fruit

As with many 2013s

and readers should not miss the Domaine du Puech Chaud

all wrapped in a youthfully austere finish that exudes that wonderful quality of underlying tension

Bollinger, La Grande Annee Vintage:2002 This is the biggest wineDisgorged January 2005. A deeper hue compared to the 1999, the nose with greater intensity, with delicate honeyed buttery tones, green apples, a little more mushroomy just in the background, great lift and gaining intensity in the glass. Quintessential Bollinger bouquet. The palate has a rich entry, very good ripeness with touches of clear honey, a touch of mango, melted butter, white flowers and much greater weight than the 1999. Superb definition
