AI Researched

Bollinger Rosé is a prestigious non-vintage Brut Champagne first released in 2008, crafted from over 85% Grand and Premier Cru fruit. Blending Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Meunier with a small addition of still red wine from Verzenay and Aÿ, it delivers both structure and elegance in the signature Bollinger style. It consistently earns scores in the 92–94 point range from leading critics and is ranked among the top 1% of all wines in the world on Vivino.

Champagne Bollinger

Founded in 1829 in Aÿ, Champagne, Bollinger is one of the most storied Grande Marque houses, renowned for barrel-fermenting around 80% of its harvest and holding an English Royal Warrant since Queen Victoria in 1884. It is famously the Champagne of choice for James Bond and remains one of the last houses to employ a full-time cooper.

Blend

62% Pinot Noir, 24% Chardonnay, 14% Meunier, with 5–6% still red wine from Verzenay and Aÿ added for colour and style

Tasting Profile

A bright salmon-pink rosé with aromas of red currant, cherry, wild strawberry, and toasted brioche, with a spicy touch. On the palate it is structured and lively, with refined red fruit, blood orange, chalky minerality, a fine mousse, and a long, elegant finish.

Region

Champagne is a prestigious northeastern French wine region and the birthplace of the traditional method of sparkling wine production, centred around the towns of Reims, Épernay, and Aÿ. To bear the 'Champagne' label, a sparkling wine must originate from this region and adhere to strict quality standards.

Price Context

Typically retails around $130–$135 USD (avg. $135 ex-tax per Wine-Searcher); UK pricing around £48–£65 per bottle.
