Bollinger Grande Année 1985 is a prestige-cuvée vintage Champagne produced by the house of Bollinger in Äy. Bollinger is a name synonymous with sophistication and quality in Champagne. In 1976, the maison`s vintage Champagne was renamed Grande Année, becoming La Grande Année (with the `La ` prefix) in 1997. "This pristine bottle of Bollinger`s 1985 La Grande Année was showing brilliantly, wafting from the glass with a complex bouquet of smoky yellow orchard fruit, walnuts, fino sherry and mocha. On the palate, it`s full-bodied, broad and powerful, with a more than vestigial pinpoint mousse, ripe acids and a deep but open-knit core, underpinned by racy acids and concluding with a long, gently oxidative finish. This is a classic Bollinger that`s in its prime from well-stored bottles." Wine Advocate, 2020
