Reviews for this vintage: 1999

By Ed McCarthy

Weather was fine in Champagne in 1999, leading to an abundant crop. The 1999 Grande Anne is a bit softer and more approachable than most Bollinger Vintage Champagnes; it can be enjoyed now and for several more years, but will not have the longevity of such vintages as the 1988, 1995 or 1996. The 1999 is intense and concentrated, with typical Bollinger toasty, biscuity flavors, showing a touch of maturity. Classic Bollinger.

94 Bollinger Champagne La Grande Anne 1997. Citrus. Smooth and refreshing, with a light finish. Everything I could hope for in a Champagne, and with special sushi prepared by a special person. 2009 starts in style $100 C.S.

It was a great evening. No doubt."

I drank the 1992 Grande Anne with my New Year's Eve dinner (bucatini pasta with shrimp; roasted, stuffed chicken breast with broccoli rabe) to see how this difficult vintage (especially for Pinot Noir) was performing at the age of 15. I was amazed by its rich aromas and texture, classic Bollinger toasty, biscuity flavors, and long, voluptuous finish. This is a solid Grand Anne, a Champagne to drink now, if you are fortunate enough to still own any '92s. Kudos to Bollinger for producing a fine Champagne in a vintage most houses chose to pass up.
