Tasting note
One of the finest non-vintage Champagnes around, notes of toast and brioche rising with the bubbles, the mouth rounded and satisfying with a fine thread of redcurrant.
Viticulture
Special Cuvée: Expertly blended from harvest grapes and aged Reserve Wines, including 15-year-old batches. Named by Bollinger's British agent in 1911, it reflects expertise and history.
Vinification
Bollinger's Special Cuvée epitomizes their style. It blends 80% Premiers & Grands Crus grapes, adding 10% Reserve wines. The mix includes 60% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay, and 15% Pinot Meunier from 30 Champagne villages. Maturing for ≥ 3 years in cellars, it showcases the House's specific character from 144 h.a of owned vineyards.
Food Match
The richness and depth of this champagne make it excellent with fuller seafood dishes like lobster, but it is also an excellent aperitif
