Bollinger Special Cuvée Champagne NV (France)

Description

Apple, Off-dry, Spice

A  beautiful golden colour with very fine bubbles. This cuvée is aromatically complex with notes of ripe fruit & spices together with hints of roasted apple compote and peaches. On the palate structure, length and vivacity are subtly combined with a velvety texture. Flavours of pear, brioche, spices and freshly cracked walnuts.

This is a delicate blend of 60% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay and 15% Meunier, with over 85% from Grand and Premier crus. Special Cuvée is the result of the blending between harvest grapes and a majority of reserve wines, including some aged in magnums for more than 15 years in Bollinger’s cellars.

Special Cuvée is perfect shared among friends, for a simple and meaningful moment. It is the champagne we give to the people we love and who love nice things. To enhance its unique style, bouquet and aromas, Special Cuvée is best served between 10 and 12°C.

In 1911, Georges Bollinger’s British agent gave him the idea for the name Special Cuvée - “special” written the English way, without an accent. He thought the French expression “Brut sans année” was no match for such a subtle champagne… More than a hundred years later, the name of Bollinger’s key figure champagne still symbolizes both its expertise and its history.

Food Pairing: Fish, seafood, poultry & white meats or a nice cheeseboard.
