Kirjeldus

Bollinger Rosé valmistamiseks kasutatakse põhiliselt Special Cuvée segu, millele lisatakse väike kogus punast reserve veini, mida hoitakse naturaalkorgi all magnum pudelites. Veini valmistamiseks on kasutatud 62% Pinot Noir, 24% Chardonnay ja 14% Meunier viinamarju, need pärinevad 85% ulatuses “grand cru” ja “premier cru” aedadest, 15% reserve veine. Punast veini lisatakse 5-6%, viinamarjad tulevad Bollingeri grand cru aedadest Ay’st ja Verzenay’st. Punase veini viinamarjad korjatakse vaid täiuslikus küpsuses, saagikus hoitakse äärmiselt madal ning vein laagerdub tammevaatides. Lõplik segu küpseb pudelis minimaalselt 3 aastat, dosage on 7,5 g/l kohta. 

Värvuselt on vein särav lõhe-roosa. Aroomilt on vein komplekssne, unikaalse jõulise karakteriga, ideaalse maitse – aroomi tasakaaluga, väga delikaatse stiiliga. Maitselt eriti kuiv, täiusliku maitse ja küpse aroomiga. Tunda on vaarikaid ja jõhvikaid, samas on tunda rohkem tanniine ja marjasust kui Special Cuvée’s, jõuline ja röstine.

“Very attractive aromas of strawberry pie with the crust nicely crispy. Copper and iron too. Medium-bodied with real pinot noir character as well as salted butter, hints of barrel and a juicy finish. 64% barrel-fermented pinot noir (5% still red wine), 28% chardonnay and the rest pinot meunier. Rosé just keeps getting better.” James Suckling 94 points

“An enticing, harmonious rosé, with ripe, juicy flavors of raspberry, white peach, white cherry, anise, cardamom and cumin.” Wine Spectator 94 points

“First released in 2008, the NV Champagne Brut Rosé is the release based around the 2021 vintage. A medium salmon hue (only 5% red wine is added to the blend), the nose is beautiful and has a lovely touch of opulence in its notes of preserved Amarena cherries, ripe red fruit, toasted brioche, and fresh roses. The palate offers a luxurious feel, with power and elegance that suggest decadence, but it’s not sweet. It has a refined mousse, with a chalky and pithy, orange-tinged structure, wonderful length, and a good core that will easily age another 10 or more years.” Jeb Dunnuck 93+ points

“Bollinger is still a relative newcomer to the non-vintage rosé scene, having produced this cuvée only since 2008. But it was an instant match to the house style of rich and firm Pinot fruit. It takes a mere 5% of Pinot Noir wine from Verzenay and Aÿ to give this its desired colour (salmon, with delicate peachy hues) and character. The fine nose is characterised by pristine red fruitiness playfully intermingling with spicy complexity and mineral whiffs. Still primary in fruitiness, it comes with depth and complexity. The oak takes a supporting role, leaving the delicious Pinot fruit to the fore, and the well-built, muscular palate has a degree of vinosity. This is a non-vintage rosé that is worthy of ageing. Dosage 7-8g/l” Essi Avellan 92 points

“The latest release of Bollinger’s NV Brut Rosé is showing especially well, offering up complex aromas of sweet stone fruit, honeycomb, freshly baked bread and orange oil, followed by a medium to full-bodied, pillowy and vinous palate. Layered and concentrated, with a pretty pinpoint mousse and ripe but racy acids, it concludes with a long, expansive finish.” Wine Advocate 92 points

“Pale to mid salmon. Light Pinot perfume. Well-managed mousse is just the right side of not-too-aggressive. Good balance of fruit and the dry finish. Serious rosé champagne but definitely not hard work to drink now.” Jancis Robinson 17 points
