96/100Sarah Mayo,The Wine Independent

Pale coral with a glimmer of gold, the La Grand Annee Rosé 2014 is a 63% Pinot Noir and 37% Chardonnay blend with 5-6% of still Cote Aux Enfants Pinot Noir. The blend was vinified together in small oak barrels and aged on fine lees until it was manually riddled and disgorged March 2022 with a seven gram per liter dosage. Revealing beautifully vinous and savory aromas of red currants, apricot turnover, bergamot, walnuts and lemon oil, this 2014 rosé opens onto a full-bodied, open-knit palate brimming with mineral-rich salinity, buoyant acidity and a savory red fruit finish with a little tannic grip. Wonderful, vinous champagne that is gastronomic and opulent.

97/100Antonio Galloni,Vinous

The 2014 Rosé La Grande Année is airy, gracious and full of energy. Crushed rocks, white pepper, red berry, mint and blood orange lend striking aromatic intensity and presence. Finely cut and taut, the Rosé is a nervy Champagne that needs time to come together. The Rosé is blended from a base of the Blanc plus 5% still red Pinot from Bollinger’s Coteaux des Enfants vineyard in Aÿ. Perhaps because of its later disgorgement vis-à-vis the Blanc, the Rosé is a bit tight today. Disgorged: August, 2021. Dosage: 8 grams per liter.
