Heiner Lobenberg om:
Champagne La Grande Année Brut 2012

95–97
/100

Grande Année er Bollingers årgangschampagne. Som altid et stort spring i kvalitet i forhold til Special Cuvée. En utroligt dekadent champagne, som er utrolig let at drikke. Fuld af moden frugt, krydderier, lidt honningkager, masser af abrikosmarmelade og røgede komponenter. Skaber tryk på ganen. En ædel repræsentant. Har alt, hvad man kan forvente af en stor champagne! 95-97/100

Wine Spectator om: Champagne La Grande Année Brut

This goes from zero to 60 right out of the gate, with an intense spine of acidity driving tightly meshed flavors of crushed black currant, ground coffee, candied grapefruit peel and toasted almond. The profile expands on the palate, carried by the fine, raw silk–like mousse. Richly aromatic and expressive from start to lasting, spiced finish. Disgorged July 2019. 97/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Champagne La Grande Année Brut

While the 2012 La Grande Annee doesn't match the magical 2008, it's not far off and has a similar purity and elegance. Beautiful notes of white flowers, white grapefruit, salty minerality, sliced apple, and hazelnut nuances all emerge on the nose, and this beauty hits the palate with medium-bodied richness, plenty of mid-palate concentration, bright yet integrated acidity, and a beautiful finish. This gains depth and richness with time in the glass but really needs 2-4 years of bottle age and should easily evolve for 20+ years in cold cellars. 96/100

Wine Enthusiast om: Champagne La Grande Année Brut

Still young for a wine of this caliber, this rich Champagne has an immense future ahead of it. The freshness of the wine will mature into the rich toastiness that is such a hallmark of this brand. Oak fermentation and aging have added to the great promise of this fine wine. Drink from 2022. 96/100

Wine&Spirits om: Champagne La Grande Année Brut

A selection of pinot noir from Aÿ and Verzenay (65 percent of the blend) with chardonnay from Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oiry, this wine ferments and ages in oak barrels and large casks, followed by extended aging on the lees in bottle. There’s an immediacy to its bubbles, and a scent that is immediately awesome—lemon blossom, lemon verbena and something exotic, like Buddha’s hand. The flavors are classical, expanding outward as the wine develops with air, potent, salty and long. Once it’s gone, you can smell the ghost of oak in the empty glass, even if it wasn’t overt in the wine. This is a structured and long-lived 2012. 96/100

Suckling om: Champagne La Grande Année Brut

This makes a bold statement. Ripe, powerful and creamy with concentrated red-berry, nectarine, grapefruit and cashew aromas. I love the juiciness and brightness of this wine, which has such a long, graceful finish. Only 65% pinot noir, but it tastes like a lot more. 100% barrel fermentation and maturation. Drink or hold. 95/100

Parker om: Champagne La Grande Année Brut

Disgorged in July 2019, Bollinger's 2012 Brut La Grande Année is showing well, offering up an incipiently complex bouquet of crisp yellow orchard fruit, fresh peach, orange oil, toasted walnuts and dried apricot that's still quite reserved with less than a year on cork. Full-bodied, deep and muscular, the 2012 is blockier and broader-shouldered than its 2008 predecessor, with a weightier and even more concentrated palate built around a bright spine of acidity, concluding with a chalky finish that carries appreciably dry extract. This isn't quite as elegant as the exquisite 2008, but it is a superb effort and obviously built to age. 95/100

Tim Atkin om: Champagne La Grande Année Brut

65% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay. Fermentation in old oak. Grande Année has leapt into thePrestige category not only in price, but also in quality lately. Bollinger's savoury, broad stylemakes a great foil for the immediacy and ripeness of 2012, offering up toasted nut, coffee andsourdough complexity over the vivid, ripe Seville orange and dried peach fruit. Formidablelength and concentration, but with more finesse than 2008. 95/100
