Bollinger Special Cuvee Brut 750mL

The name of Bollinger’s emblematic champagne, with its English spelling, encapsulates its entire history. It was the British agent of Georges Bollinger who, in 1911, christened it “Special Cuvée”, as he found the expression “non-vintage brut” did not befit a champagne of such subtlety. Over a century later, the name of the champagne emblematic of Bollinger’s expertise still encapsulates its entire history.

This impressed on labels and minds what the tastebuds already knew: that Special Cuvée was truly very… special. It bears out the House’s hallmark know-how and ability to recreate year after year a cuvée with a constancy of style and quality.

Colour:

A golden colour, distinctive of black grape varieties; very fine bubbles.

Nose:

A beautiful aromatic complexity; ripe fruit and spicy aromas; hints of roasted apples, compote and peaches.

Palate:

A subtle combination of structure, length and vivacity; bubbles like velvet; pear, brioche and spicy aromas, notes of fresh walnut.

Serving Suggestions:

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, this wine is best served between 8 and 10°C. You can enjoy Special Cuvée right away, or choose to age it in your cellar.
