CRITIC REVIEWS
Antonio Galloni
Bollinger s 2018 La Grande Année is quite pretty and delicate. Floral and citrus notes are nicely lifted in a Grande Année that offers notable sensuality and grace. Hints of orchard fruit, chamomile, mint and chalk build through the mid-palate and into the taut, chiseled finish. There s plenty of energy and focus. More importantly, this is a fine effort in a year marked by high yields in Champagne. I would give this a few years in the cellar. The 2018 is 66% Pinot Noir and 34% Chardonnay from 19 villages, 73% Grand Cru and 37% Premier Cru. The core villages are Aÿ, Verzenay and Mareuil for Pinot Noir and Avize, Chouilly and Cuis for the Chardonnay. Dosage is 7 grams per liter. Disgorged: March 2025

Warm, solar growing season with picking started in August. An iconic vintage according to the house. Headily Pinot-flavoured and relatively rich on the nose and then edgy, savoury and very Bollinger on the palate. Bursting with energy! Very lively and vivacious. Already very enjoyable though clearly set for more development. In magnum the wine was tighter and even racier. For MD Charles-Armand de Belenet the 2018 is spring-like as opposed to Bollinger s more usual autumnal blends. (JR)
