Champagne - Non-Vintage
Description:
A rich, biscuity nose with a hint of summer fruits. On the palate, full flavours of nuts and toast and some citrus characters abound, balanced by excellent acidity.

The Special Cuvée is the purest expression of Bollinger's style.

Grape Variety: 60% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay, 15% Pinot Meunier.

Background: Bollinger uses only the ‘cuvée’ juice in the making of Special Cuvée. Depending on vintage, 100% of Grand Cru's and part of the Premier Cru's are barrel fermented. Bollinger uses small stainless steel tanks to conduct the fermentation of the other cru's.

Special Cuvée is a blend of wines coming from the most recent harvest, and also wines from previous harvests, including reserve wines held in magnum.

After second fermentation, Special Cuvée then ages in cellars for at least 3 years. After riddling and disgorging Special Cuvée then rests in cellars for a minimum of 3 months prior to shipment.

"The weighty, full Bollinger style is rich on the palate and long on the finish but it has elegance too. A big personality."

Giles Fallowfield, Decanter Magazine - August 2005

"Bollinger still ferment some wine in oak casks which gives a deeper flavour. They also include 60 per cent of Pinot Noir in the blend, which adds even more depth and they use a significant proportion of older wines. Matured for at least three years before disgorging, this is a powerful, brioche-scented wine with layers of complexity and even a hint of truffles."
Christine Austin - Yorkshire Post 07/10/06
