WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Bollinger Rosé NV involves a meticulous blend of base wines from Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier. A small proportion (5-6%) of still red Pinot Noir wine is added to impart color and structure. The base wines undergo fermentation in both stainless steel tanks and oak barrels. Bollinger exclusively uses the cuvée, the first press of the grapes. The wine is then aged in Bollinger's cellars for at least three years, with extended maturation on lees, before being released.
