A generous and ripe vintage Champagne from one of the most traditional houses in the region, the 2009 Bollinger La Grande Année comes from a warm, early-ripening year in Champagne. The growing season delivered abundant sunshine and low disease pressure, resulting in wines with ripe fruit expression, softer acidity than cooler vintages, and immediate appeal. Bollinger’s signature style—Pinot Noir dominance, oak fermentation for a portion of the base wines, and extended lees aging—adds structure and depth to the richness of the vintage.
Producer Information
Champagne Bollinger is one of the most famous houses in Champagne, in northern France. It is notable for its muscular, Pinot Noir-dominant cuvée, and is widely available around the world. The house, originally known as Renaudin-Bollinger & Cie, was founded in 1829. It passed through generations of the family of Bollinger until 2008 when, for the first time in its history, the chairman came from outside of the family. Champagne Bollinger is still independently owned by Société Jacques Bollinger. Bollinger is located in Aÿ in the heart of Champagne, and the majority of the vines are located on premier cru and grand cru plots. The house style is focused on Pinot Noir, with Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier being used to enhance rather than dominate. Pinot Noir makes up no less than 60 percent of all of the Bollinger collection, and there is no Blanc de Blanc in the portfolio. Two-thirds of the grapes are estate-grown, with the rest coming from growers with a long history with the house; all plots are vinified separately to allow for each specific terroir to be fully expressed. Bollinger manages 169 hectares (417 acres) of vineyards. Bollinger has a vast array of barrels dating back to 1903. The majority are purchased from a French négociant at three years of age and are maintained by an in-house cooper until 30 years of age. This allows for the roundness of style and integrated flavor typical of Bollinger. The house also has a large portfolio of reserve wines kept under cork rather than the more traditional crown cap. This is time-consuming and expensive, with hand riddling and disgorgement needed, which is why the majority of Champagne houses do not follow this practice.
