NV Bollinger, Rose 1x75cl

CRITIC REVIEWS

Josh Raynolds

(60% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Meunier; roughly 9 g/l dosage; L1403805): Bright orange-pink. Fresh red berries and tangerine on the spice- and smoke-accented nose and in the mouth. Sappy and expansive, offering juicy raspberry and bitter cherry flavors and a touch of toasty lees. Tightens up on the long, mineral-driven finish, which leaves a chalky mineral nuance behind.

Disgorged in May 2021, the latest release of Bollinger's NV Brut Rose is vert pretty, offering up aromas of pear, orange oil and plum, mingled with hints of fresh bread, dried white flowers and spices. Medium to full-bodied, seamless and elegantly vinous, it's attractively balanced, with fine depth at the core, lively acids and a pretty pinpoint mousse. This is deceptively giving and charming out of the gates, but I suspect it will put on more weight with additional age on cork.

62% Pinot Noir, 24% Chardonnay and 14% Pinot Meunier. 85% of the grapes come from premier cru and grand cru vineyards, 60% of which are owned by Bollinger. 5-6% of the Pinot Noir vinified as red wine. Primary fermentation in both small stainless-steel tanks and wooden casks, then aged for at least three years. A key component of this blend is the use of reserve wines in magnums and French oak barrels, which are aged for 5 to 15 years or more in the cellars. Winemaker Gilles Descotes. TA 4.1 g/l, pH 3.2, RS 9 g/l. Natural cork. Bottle weight 900 g. Available in over 283 shops.Really complex nose. Oak in evidence but one forgives this for Bollinger! A delightfully complex wine for the table. Very long but not for those seeking maximum refreshment. (JR)
