An important cru

Quintessential Bollinger bouquet

Rene Rostaing, Cote Rotie Ampodium other_regions even at the first sniffAromas of ripe, spice tinged dark berries and pungent flowers are sharpened by sneaky mineral and spice flourishes. Spicy and focused on the palate, offering juicy blackberry, cherry and violet pastille flavors that are complicated by salty olive and cracked pepper nuances. Fleshes out with air while maintaining liveliness and finishes bright, spicy and quite long, displaying sharp clarity, even tannins and lingering florality. Josh Raynolds
