    Overview

    Bollinger Rose Magnum in Gift Box 

     
    Champagne Bollinger has launched a new bottle shape for the Magnum, inspired by a nineteenth-century bottle rediscovered in the company's cellars which dates back to 1846. 

    The brand new 1846 bottle design, unique in Champagne, while rooted in the company's history, aims to express better still all the qualities of a great Champagne.

    Tasting Notes:
    A new cuvee at Bollinger is always an event and a long story. Bollinger Rose fully belongs to the Bollinger family. Its main component is the Special Cuvee blend that has always embodied Bollinger's style and high standards. Bollinger Rose is made by adding red wine. Bollinger has always had a singular relationship with red wine and a personal bond with neighbouring Burgundy.
     
    Red wine accounts for 5 to 6% of the Special Cuvee blend giving birth to Bollinger Rose.

    The colour of Bollinger Rose combines the rich bronze highlights of the Special Cuvee and the intense depth of the red wine. This could be the tint of the raw flesh of wild salmon barely reddened over charcoal. It is a light and a depth. It is the colour of a great wine.

    The wine reveals all the fullness of expression of the Special Cuvee to the nose. All Bollinger is there: presence and modesty, power and delicacy. And yet other notes come to the fore in the mouth: small wild berries in the countryside on hot summer afternoons.

    Raspberries, blackberries, gooseberries - the first note of acidity is jolted by the sensuousness of the flesh. An impertinent flavour dances in the mouth, but the lively, joyous sparkle of the fruit is always contained by the wine's precise structure, which gains in fullness and climaxes with mellow notes that stay on the palate and resound in the memory for a long time.

    Bollinger Rose NV is assembled from Grands and Premiers Crus from La Montagne de Reims and La Cote des Blancs.

    Review:
    "Bready autolytic characters combine with a soft and smooth finish to make an elegant, complex wine. Wonderfully pure and classy."
    Richard Bampfield MW, Imbibe UK, 1 May 2010
     
    "Since its launch in 2008 this wine has been consistently impressive. From its mid-salmon colour to its restrained summer pudding aromas and delicate texture, it is one of the most perfectly harmonious and drinkable rosés on the market. Drink now-2013."
    Susie Barrie MW, Decanter 1 June 2010
