La Grande Annee Rose is a derivation from the blend of La Grande Annee and is only produced when exceptional quality vintages occur. The grapes come exclusively from Grands and Premiers Crus. For this 2002 vintage, wine from 16 villages has been included, 77% from Grand Crus and 23% from Premier Crus. Bollinger use only the 'cuvee' juice in the making of La Grande Annee Rose. The first fermentation is always carried out 100% in old oak barrels, which has become quite unique in Champagne. The package is also suitable for postage.
