Spécial Cuvée étui

With the Spécial Cuvée, Bollinger aims for density with fine detail. The house in Aÿ blends 60% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay and 15% Meunier, more than 85% of it from grands and premiers crus. A large share of reserve wines is characteristic, some of them aged for 5 to 15 years in magnums. Bottle ageing also lasts twice as long as the law requires. The result is a brut with a distinctly vinous profile.

The mousse is very fine and the aromatics are layered. On the palate, structure, length and freshness come together. Drink it at 8 to 10 °C from a white wine glass. Fish, seafood, poultry and Parmesan make good companions. The cuvée is ready to drink straight away, but it can also be cellared for 2 to 3 years. This version comes in a gift box, which makes it a fitting choice as a present.
