Wine Spectator über: Champagne La Grande Année Rosé Brut

-- Wine Spectator: Tightly trimmed yet voluminous in character, with sun-dried black cherry, baked peach, blood orange sorbet and candied ginger flavors.

Parker über: Champagne La Grande Année Rosé Brut

-- Parker: Bollinger's 2015 Brut La Grande Année Rosé was disgorged in May last year with seven grams per liter dosage. Offering up deep aromas of orchard fruits, blood orange, mandarin rind and peach mingled with nuances of coffee, praline and fino sherry, it's medium to full-bodied, pillowy and layered, with a broad attack that segues into a vinous palate framed by high levels of structuring dry extract that makes its presence felt on the sapid, nutty and penetrating finish. Given the skin maturity and inherent structure of the year, the Bollinger team elected to include only 4.5% of still red wine in the blend, a comparatively low percentage. 96/100

Jeb Dunnuck über: Champagne La Grande Année Rosé Brut

-- Jeb Dunnuck: The same blend as the Blanc but including 5% red wine from their La Côte aux Enfants parcel, the 2015 Champagne La Grande Année Brut Rosé is a lovely wine on the nose, and I think I might like it more than the Blanc in this vintage. Offering aromas of raspberry preserve and crushed roses, the structure really comes together and feels more harmonious in this vintage, with its pithy structure balanced by more fleshy stone fruit on the finish. It also has notes of nectarine to balance out the more savory style that finishes the wine. It’s very well-integrated and long, with a more refined, stony texture. A very lovely wine that I would jump to purchase, it’s going to drink well over the coming 20 years.

Suckling über: Champagne La Grande Année Rosé Brut

-- Suckling: This elegant, medium-bodied rosé includes select plots of pinot noir from the Cote Aux Enfants vineyard. It shows a medium orange-amber color, dark cherry-skin and candied-plum aromas followed by vivid strawberry and blood-orange flavors. Marked by finesse, light but very flavorful, complex and layered. Drink or hold. 95/100

Galloni über: Champagne La Grande Année Rosé Brut

-- Galloni: The 2015 Brut Grand Année Rosé is quite open in its aromatics but much more reticent on the palate. It's a Champagne that is going to need some time to be at its finest. Chalk, white pepper, grapefruit, blood orange and mint lend notable presence in the bouquet. Today, the 2015 comes across as a touch ethereal and also quite different in overall feel than the Blanc. Dosage is 7 grams per liter. Disgorged: July 2023. 94/100

Jancis Robinson über: Champagne La Grande Année Rosé Brut

-- Jancis Robinson: Pale, slightly gris salmon pink (a little paler than the Billecart 2012 Elisabeth Salmon rosé tasted alongside). Heady, mushroomy, off-dry, sumptuous Bollinger gloriousness on the palate. I wonder what the dosage is, and whether the richness comes mainly from the fruit and oak? Finishes dry, but with wonderfully soothing impact on the palate. Relatively gentle mousse. Really gets to the deepest part of the throat. Sensational!
