95/100

Disgorged in July 2019, Bollinger's 2012 Brut La Grande Année is showing well, offering up an incipiently complex bouquet of crisp yellow orchard fruit, fresh peach, orange oil, toasted walnuts and dried apricot that's still quite reserved with less than a year on cork. Full-bodied, deep and muscular, the 2012 is blockier and broader-shouldered than its 2008 predecessor, with a weightier and even more concentrated palate built around a bright spine of acidity, concluding with a chalky finish that carries appreciably dry extract. This isn't quite as elegant as the exquisite 2008, but it is a superb effort and obviously built to age.

94/100

We have been spoiled by a trend where these beauties were released later and later. In other words, more drinkable and mature than before. The most recent legendary vintage of 2008 was admittedly extremely youthful at launch despite its high actual age. Since neither 2009, 2010 nor 2011 was considered to be a big year at the discerning Aÿ house, 2012 is thus released at the age of 7.5. It should probably be a good age to drink a wine made in a consciously oxidative style on old oak barrels, but despite its great wealth and delicious aromatic profile, I advise you to put every bottle in the cellar between 5-10 years for the greatest possible enjoyment. The wine is made from 21 villages with Aÿ and Verzenay in the driver's seat backed by elegance from Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oiry. The wine is characterized by vitality and energy more than depth at present. The color has a brilliant golden glow and the mousse is almost panting in its resilient youthfulness. The scent is beautifully house typical, dominated by apricot, almond, hazelnut and a smoky sophisticated intensity as from a newly lit outdoor fire. The attack is stunningly intense and the weight in the oral cavity leaves nothing left to wish for. Resilient energy and fullness are combined with greatness, but the aftertaste is so far a little too one-tracked fresh. Here I am waiting for the final acids should be accompanied by deeper

At Bollinger, only very high quality harvests become a vintage: the exceptional 2012 vintage led to Bollinger creating expressive wines that were simultaneously full, fresh and complex.

OMDÖME FRÅN CHAMPAGNE CLUB by RICHARD JUHLIN ★★★★★ av ★★★★★ Joseph Bollinger hette tysken från Würtemberg som grundade detta anrika hus 1829. Fransmännen kallade honom för Jacques. Firmans stora arealer i de bästa pinotbyarna köptes av hans söner Georges och Joseph. 1918 var det dags för nästa Jacques att ta över egendomen. Han blev borgmästare i Aÿ, men dog under den tyska ockupationen 47 år gammal. Den färgstarkaste personen i husets historia är hans änka...
