Bollinger Grande Annee 1996

The 1996 Grande Annee (it was renamed La Grande Annee in the following release) is the most powerful edition of this wine that came on the market first with the 1983 vintage. Today it is even more impressive than the 1996 RD which is more closed. The Grande Annee 1996 is delicious today but also not at its peak yet. We are not alone in our opinion that this is the best Grande Annee for drinking today.

Richard Juhlin champagneclub.com 96 In many respects the wine is reminiscent of the critically acclaimed '90 with its exotically rich fruit and a timbre somewhat less masculine than in the more classic vintages. Nor does one find the Krug-like elegance that the '95 displays. But that could very well prove to be compensated for with the fantastically high acidity. A magnificent, powerful wine in all respects, which breathes more and more greatness every time I open a new bottle.
