To celebrate the release of the new, 2018 vintage of La Grande Année, Bollinger invites you to an exclusive masterclass dedicated to one of Champagne’s most iconic cuvées. Entirely vinified in oak barrels, La Grande Année stands apart as a pure expression of Bollinger’s savoir-faire and longevity. This immersive session offers a rare opportunity to go behind the scenes, with special tasting samples designed to reveal what truly makes La Grande Année so distinctive. Through a guided deep dive into the House’s winemaking choices by Bollinger winemaker Bérangère Fierfort-Caqué, you will explore the essential building blocks behind the cuvée. 

This unique masterclass unveils the precision, patience and expertise required to shape La Grande Année, allowing you to experience firsthand the know-how that defines one of Champagne’s most celebrated wines.
