2015 Bollinger Champagne La Grande Année

Vintage Prestige from Champagne’s Pinnacle House
Bollinger’s La Grande Année 2015 is the flagship vintage Champagne from one of Champagne’s most respected houses, produced only in truly exceptional years. Crafted from a meticulous selection of grapes from Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards, the 2015 blend typically features around 60 % Pinot Noir and 40 % Chardonnay, all vinified in small oak barrels and aged under cork for extended complexity. 

Tasting Profile
This vintage shows remarkable depth and sophistication — a wine of generous fruit, structure and finesse. On the nose, expect enticing aromas of mandarin orange, ripe pear, stone fruits like Mirabelle plum, and delicate brioche layered with notes of toasted hazelnuts, honey and subtle spice. 

The palate delivers a medium-to-full body with rich, vinous texture, marked by juicy orchard fruits, chalky minerality and integrated acidity balanced with a moderate dosage. The finish is long, savory and refined, with hints of citrus zest, nuts and a touch of sea salt that reinforce its gastronomic character. 

Style & Pairing
Powerful yet elegant, this is a gastronomic Champagne that stands beautifully on its own or paired with refined cuisine — from oysters and shellfish to roasted poultry, creamy pastas or aged cheeses. 

Cellaring Potential
Already enjoyable, La Grande Année 2015 will continue evolving through the next decade and beyond, developing further complexity and tertiary nuance with age. 

Why It’s Special
La Grande Année expresses both the signature Bollinger style — richness, toastiness and textural depth — and the unique character of the 2015 vintage, yielding a Champagne of real distinction for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
