(07-2011) Deep gold with a hint of orange. Very subtle nose – but that slight hint of putty that's evident in the 1988 and 1996. Definitely old but still lively and with no shortage of mousse. A hint of mushrooms. Rich, even a little sweet now. An intellectual pleasure. Honeyed note on the end. Maybe the fruit is giving way to structure now but it is hugely impressive. Not that long but very beautiful. More than a hint of red burgundy about this wine.
The history of Bollinger, founded in 1829 in Champagne in the village of Ay, is one of a family who has always defended with passion its know-how. The famous "Aunt Lily" who presided over the house beginning in 1941, set up strict quality rules that will continue to guide, the future leaders who will take over.
