2015 Bollinger La Grande Annee Brut [JS96][V96][WS96][WA95+][D94][JD94] Subregion_Sonoma Coast marrying sculpted tannins with layersProducer: Bollinger Region: Champagne, France Blend: Champagne Blend Year: 2015 James Suckling, 96 Points "Enticing, fragrant aromas of toast, lemon zest and an earthy smoky nuance lead to a palate of subtle Bosc pear, mango, papaya, even pineapple flavors. Lifted by fresh acidity on the medium bodied palate, the wine keeps unfolding in toasted walnuts, honey and a dash of bitter marmalade. Its mouth filling, alive with acidity and full of finesse."
