Light salmon color. Nice energy in the glass. Yeasty nose. Also notes of cranberries, white chalk, kiwi fruit and some wet stones. Nice mouth feel and acidity that pairs with fruit that hides in the background. Lots of power in this. Still a baby.

The 2012 La Grande Année Rosé is airy, gracious and so wonderfully inviting. Crushed flowers, mint, white pepper and red berry fruit are all gracefully woven together. Today, the 2012 is naturally quite young and still shows the tension of a Champagne that was disgorged just a few months ago. Readers who prefer Champagnes with softer edges and a bit more flavor complexity will want to cellar the 2012. I have to admit, I very much like the wine today, in its youthful state, where its energy and focus are front and center. The 2012 is a blend of 67% Pinot Noir and 33% Chardonnay taken from 21 villages built around a core of Aÿ and Verzenay Pinot Noir and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oiry Chardonnay, crus that are quite complementary. Disgorged January 2020. Dosage is 8 grams per liter. (Originally published in August 2020) (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, November 2020)

Great bottle presentation from Bollinger.
This is super delicate on the palate. Fruits are beautiful the run in the middle of Billecart Salmon N/V Rosé & Ruinart N/V. Strawberries with cream, cherries, lean ripe watermelon & black cherries. The volcanic minerality is among some of the best I had. The chalkiness is similar to the BSR but, finer & less of a sharp edge. The acidity is incredible. The delicate, rich, polished, well balanced finish impressive and lingers for minutes.

Merry Christmas everyone. Such a great time of year and night. 🎄🎅🤶🎁⛄️❄️ Cheers! 🍾🥂🍷
