Spécial Cuvée

At Bollinger, the Spécial Cuvée stands for density and subtlety. It is made up of 60% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay and 15% Meunier, with more than 85% of the grapes coming from grand cru and premier cru sites. A particular feature is the high proportion of reserve wines, some of which spent five to fifteen years in magnum casks. They give the champagne its pronounced vinosity. It ages in the cellar for twice as long as the appellation requires.

In the glass you see very fine bubbles and a layered aromatic profile. On the palate, structure, length and vivacity come together. It goes with fish, seafood and poultry, even with Parmesan. Serve it at 8 to 10 °C in a white wine glass. The magnum is regarded as the ideal size for keeping champagne, and with us it is delivered in a free gift box.
