The Blend of the 2014 vintage is 63% Pinot Noir, and 37% Chardonnay. 19 crus: Mainly Aÿ and Verzenay for the Pinot Noir, Chouilly and Oiry for the Chardonnay. 5% red Côte aux Enfants wine.
Exclusive use of the cuvée. Fermented entirely in aged oak barrels. At Bollinger, only very high-quality harvests become a vintage: the 2014 vintage gave rise to a wine that is simultaneously precise, refined, and complex, in terms of both its minerality and exceptional length.
Overall, this is an extremely beautiful and complex Bollinger on the finer and more elegant half of the whole. I love how you find new little details in a harmonious simplicity with each new sip. Fascinating and beautiful already, grand as R.D. in 10 years or more, and without a doubt one of the vintage's rare hits.
