The Bollinger House
Bollinger La Grande Année Brut 2014, Champagne, France - 1.5l
2014 was a fine year at the Bollinger vineyard, and the release of this season's crop is a reason to celebrate. Uncorking the magnum releases a scent akin to crisp sea air, whie bright and sharp cherries are at the forefront of La Grande Année's initial taste. This front loads the champagne with a crisp intensity balanced by undertones of spice, citrus, and peach. A minerality lingers on the palate for a prolonged period, tempered by toasted brioche and the creamy vanilla traditionally associated with Bollinger. This balance of acidity and softness is unique, offering a greater volume, complexity, and power than many 2014 vintages produced by rivals.
GRAPE

Pinot Noir, Chardonnay
WHAT IT GOES WITH
Naturally, caviar will always be the perfect companion for such a fine Bollinger. The creamy texture of this champagne also pairs well with traditional seafood, such as oysters and buttered lobster, or a light dish revolving around white meat.
ABOUT THE VINEYARD
Does any champagne house need less introduction than Bollinger? Founded in 1829 when the French Naval officer Athanase de Villermont teamed with Jacques Bollinger and Paul Renaudin to maximise the potential of an inherited estate, and placed firmly on the global map by Elisabeth Law de Lauriston-Boubers - aka Madame Bollinger - this champagne is frequently used as a byword for superior standards in the realm of wine. Today, the vineyard blends traditional family values with the latest and greatest technology to maintain the exemplary reputation of Bollinger, ensuring that the brand remains the last word in luxury.

A wooden box can make your magnum look even more special, especially if you want to personalise it for a gift. We can engrave up to 50 characters, in one of five different fonts, to the front of the wooden box.
We always intend to despatch any orders on the same day, on a next day delivery service, assuming checkout is completed before 1pm as this gives us enough time to prepare the package.
You can also track your order throughout the process, ensuring that you’re home to accept it or make alternative arrangements with DPD.
If ordering as a gift, please provide the recipient’s address and a contact telephone number so they are notified a delivery is coming. While the arrival of a magnum will surely be a welcome surprise, we want to ensure somebody is available to sign for the package. We’ll keep you updated about the delivery progress, and supply a purchase invoice that doubles as a receipt for your financial records to your email address. We never include an invoice with the package in case it is a gift.
We rarely need to process returns, but in the improbable event that we need to do so, we will offer a full refund on any product returned in its original packaging and in a re-sellable condition. Unfortunately we cannot refund shipping costs.
