A stunner. Mouth filling and weightless all at once. Focused and linear but adding layers with air. Better at 55° than 45°. Marmalade croissants. Hard to take a sip without vocalizing how delicious it is.

Improved from the 2012 opened last year. Better chilled. Almost had a whole glass.

Clear, deep golden colour. Clean, pronounced peach & apricot with lemon on the nose. Dry, with medium to high acidity. Medium to full bodied. Marvellous flavours of toast & honey with a long, lingering aftertaste. Just a hint of minerality. An outstanding wine and a great birthday present.

61% Pinot Noir, 39% Chardonnay.

Dining at Sir Samuel’s Restaurant, onboard Queen Anne en route from Samoa to Tonga.

complex aromas of crisp yellow orchard fruit, confit citrus, frangipane, walnuts, dried white flowers and subtle hints of iodine, Bollinger’s 2014 Brut La Grande Annee is medium to full-bodied, pillowy and vinous, with an elegantly fleshy core of fruit that’s underpinned by racy acids and complemented by a pretty pinpoint mousse. Concluding with a long, chalky finish

Pale straw coloration. On the nose, apples and lemon. On the palate, tart citrus, honey, florals, brioche and a very long finish.
