Falstaff - 100

Bollinger La Grande Année 2008 is a prestigious champagne that reflects an exceptional vintage year and the Bollinger house’s unwavering commitment to quality. This cuvée is composed of 71% Pinot Noir and 29% Chardonnay, carefully selected from 18 different vineyards, predominantly classified as Grand Cru and Premier Cru.


La Grande Année 2008 pairs beautifully with refined dishes such as freshly sliced prosciutto, roasted scallops, aged cheeses like Parmesan or Comté, and roasted meats. Its structure and complexity make it a perfect choice for special occasions and an excellent candidate for long-term cellaring.


On the nose, it reveals aromas of fresh fruit such as pear and lemon, complemented by notes of honey, warm pastry, and dried flowers. On the palate, it is full-bodied, with fine bubbles, exceptional concentration, and a fresh acidity that leads to a long, precise, and mineral-driven finish.
