Wine Enthusiast, December 2012

This grand rosé is rich and rounded. Its red fruit flavors are layered with toast and spice notes, with depth that gives the wine another dimension of complexity. It could age in the bottle for at least 3–4 years.

The 2004 Bollinger Grande Année Rosé is a distinguished Champagne blend from France's renowned Champagne region. Crafted primarily from 72% Pinot Noir and 28% Chardonnay, this rosé showcases a beautiful salmon hue, attributed to the inclusion of 5% still Pinot Noir. Disgorged in July 2014, this wine has been praised for its complexity and aging potential.

Wine Spectator's review highlights its "firm acidity and minerally character," with flavors of raspberry pâte de fruit, ripe black cherry, and brioche, finishing elegantly with spice, graphite, and ground coffee notes. The publication rated it a commendable 93 points, suggesting it is enjoyable now but will continue to evolve through 2024.

John Gilman from View From The Cellar was particularly impressed, calling it "perhaps the finest I have ever tasted of this cuvée from Bollinger." Awarding it 95 points, Gilman describes a bouquet of blood orange, white cherry, and rye toast, complemented by a deep, full-bodied palate and a long, energetic finish.

Wine & Spirits bestowed the highest score, a remarkable 96 points, noting the wine's "ornate complexity" from barrel fermentation and its contemporary French feel. The review praises its dynamic red fruit and dramatic texture, suggesting it is a youthful wine with great aging potential.

Wine Enthusiast also awarded it 95 points, appreciating its rich layers of red fruit, toast, and spice, and noting its ability to age gracefully for several more years. Similarly, Burghound found it "gorgeously complex" with a refined nose and vibrant mousse, recommending it for current enjoyment or further aging.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate gave it 91 points, citing its vibrant and refreshing palate and noting a slightly stringent finish, less elegant than its white counterpart but full of tension and power.

Overall, the 2004 Bollinger Grande Année Rosé is celebrated for its complexity, depth, and potential for aging, making it a standout vintage from Bollinger.
