The Great Year is the embodiment of Bollinger know-how, an exceptional champagne with a dense and satiny texture and aromas of ripe fruit and dried fruit. Each vintage is an event and ranks among the best champagnes. The 2012 vintage is a generous, full-bodied vintage, supported by great liveliness. For the production of La Grande année 2012, the cellar master of the Bollinger house has combined 65% Pinot Noir and 35% Chardonnay. The grapes come from around twenty Champagne villages, mainly Aÿ and Verzenay for Pinot Noir and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oiry for Chardonnay.
