Vinification Details: Demonstrating unique blending and red-winemaking skills: a true alchemy, a very technical wine. Blend: 62% Pinot Noir, 24% Chardonnay, 14% Meunier with only 5 to 6% still red wine added due to its power. Bollinger Rosé is made of over 85% Grands and Premiers crus.
History: The Bollinger House also makes magnificent red wines, such as the legendary Côte aux Enfants, in Aÿ. Since Bollinger Rosé was created in 2008, the Poirier Saint-Pierre and Montboeuf plots, in Verzenay, are worked in the same style as the Côte aux Enfants plot to complete the production… Because only great wines make great champagnes.
