Collection: Bollinger 2018 La Grande Année

With an impressive 96 points from Antonio Galloni, outscoring even the prestigious 2002 and 2012 vintages - alongside 95–97 points from Essi Avellan, it's no surprise that the Honest Grapes team were absolutely blown away when tasting Bollinger's 2018 La Grande Année at the estate. Even better, it comes in at 15% less than the previous Grande Année release!
 
The 2018 vintage is also an emotionally resonant one for Bollinger, marking the year they began rebuilding their historic cellars and constructing a new hotel ahead of their bicentenary celebrations in 2029. It’s a particularly elegant expression of La Grande Année, which Galloni describes as “quite pretty and delicate,” yet it still carries that unmistakable Bollinger energy and focus, with layers of textural richness balanced by fine acidity.
 
With such strong critic scores and a market-friendly price, this is a bottle you’ll definitely want to secure for the cellar while it continues to develop. Trust us — your future self will thank you.
