Description
A favourite with our customers, this is full-bodied with the classic breadth of flavour typical of Bollinger. Depending on the blend, a small portion may be stored in old oak barriques and the reserve wines are aged for five to 10 years. Full and rounded with a long, complex finish, it is lovely now but would reward keeping for a year or two.
Awards
Special Cuvée is the result of the delicate blending between harvest grapes and a majority of Reserve Wines in magnums, including some aged for more than 15 years in Bollinger’s cellars. In 1911, Bollinger’s British agent gave 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.
