Bollinger La Grande Année 2015

Tangerine zest, dried herbs and menthol emerge slowly, revealing the benefits of Bunner's patient harvest timing. The 40% Chardonnay blend (higher than usual) brings textural richness and tropical undertones that develop beautifully with air. Dense and compelling, this represents a complete stylistic shift from the linear 2014. The extra hang time paid off handsomely.
