Interesting facts
La Grande Année Rosé was born under Madame Bollinger's guidance in 1941 with the condition it had to be extraordinary. The red wine component comes from the Côte aux Enfants vineyard, aged in small oak barrels in Burgundian style. Bollinger plans to open a visitor center in 2027 and increase production.
