The Making of Special Cuvée Bollinger

Few Champagne houses achieve the undisputed reputation of Bollinger. Seriousness and consistency have been its best assets since the early 19th century, and the Special Cuvée demonstrates this, asserting itself in a lively, full-bodied, and beautifully fresh style, as the very type of a "simple" non-vintage brut of great character and seduction. A success that never fails.

The Special Cuvée de Bollinger blends 60% Pinot Noir, the emblematic grape of the Bollinger house, 25% Chardonnay, and 15% Meunier. These grapes come predominantly (85%) from Grand and Premier crus. This champagne highlights the black grapes and reveals the pure expression of the Champagne terroir. Crafted with reserve wines, some of which are aged in magnums for 7 to 15 years, this cuvée benefits from exceptional maturity.

The winemaking process respects the requirement of long aging in the cellar. The dosage is moderate, with only 6 to 7 grams per liter, allowing the full complexity of this cuvée to be revealed. The bottle of Special Cuvée Bollinger is presented in an elegant case, a perfect showcase for this timeless champagne.

Anecdotes

It was in 1911 that the name "Special Cuvée" was born, suggested by the British agent of Georges Bollinger. Finding the expression "Brut sans année" inappropriate for a champagne of such subtlety, he proposed an English name without accents. Today, over a hundred years later, the Special Cuvée remains the emblem of Bollinger's savoir-faire.
