About this Item

1990 La Grande Année
1 (1 x 1) 750ml

The cuvée Grande Année is the best example of Bollinger's signature and its outcome. Powerfully vinous, with intense and complex aromas, this blend of grands crus and premiers crus makes this wine definitely one of the greatest.

Critics Ratings

‘Bollinger's 1990 Brut La Grande Année is drinking superbly today, wafting from the glass with a complex bouquet of dried orange, pear, praline, honeyed toast and subtle hints of mocha. Full-bodied, textural and vinous, with superb depth at the core, bright girdling acids and a pretty pinpoint mousse, it's seamless and complete.’ - William Kelley, Wine Advocate, 95/100 (April 2021)
