Description
Bollinger was established in 1829 by Jacques Bollinger and Paul Renaudin. The house has a reputation for producing Pinot-Noir dominated Champagnes with the ability to age gracefully for many years. Special Cuvée is the purest expression of Bollinger’s house style. Its biscuity nose is endowed with hints of white fruit. The rich, full-bodied palate is perfectly balanced by fresh acidity and a soft, delicate mousse. If you’re looking for a Champagne to drink now, this stylish cuvée will fit the bill nicely.
Special Cuvée is composed of over 85% Grand and Premier crus of the three main Champagne varieties: 60% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay and 15% Meunier. It is cellar aged for twice as long as required by appellation regulations. It is moderately dosed at between 7 and 8 grams per litre.
