The wine in this vintage

Widely regarded as one of the most classic Champagne vintages of recent decades, 2008 combined a cool summer with a dry, bright end of season, yielding healthy grapes, high acidity and great purity. Bollinger La Grande Année 2008 is a faithful portrait of the year: a wine of tension and depth, with citrus, green apple, hawthorn blossom and a background of brioche and hazelnut, all framed by an almost razor-sharp chalky minerality. Robert Parker gave it 97 points and Wine Spectator 96. The structure is imposing yet streamlined, with a very long finish. Already rewarding for lovers of freshness, it will keep evolving and gaining complexity for many years to come.

The producer · Bollinger

Founded in Aÿ in 1829, Bollinger remains one of the very few great Champagne houses that is still independent and family-owned. Its modern identity bears the stamp of Madame Lily Bollinger, who ran the house from 1941 to 1971, famously cycling through the vineyards and instilling an uncompromising culture of quality. The house farms a substantial estate of its own, largely rated Grand and Premier Cru, with Pinot Noir from Aÿ, Verzenay and Bouzy as the backbone of its style. Tradition here is a working method rather than a slogan: a significant share of the wines is fermented in small, seasoned oak casks looked after by an in-house cooper, reserve wines are kept in magnums under cork, and lees ageing is long. The result is vinous, deep Champagne with an almost still-wine texture and the ability to age for decades. Its flagship cuvées, La Grande Année, R.D. and the rare Vieilles Vignes Françaises from ungrafted vines, are benchmarks for serious collectors.
