Spécial Cuvée | Bottle 75cl

Description

Bollinger Special Cuvée is an iconic champagne. Made primarily from Pinot Noir grapes, it is distinguished by its aromatic richness and beautiful complexity. This bottle is ideal as an aperitif or to accompany gourmet dishes.

The production of Bollinger Special Cuvée

Special Cuvée champagne is made from a blend of 60% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay, and 15% Meunier. Over 85% of the grapes used come from Grands and Premiers Crus vineyards, which is a guarantee of quality. Only the cuvée, or first pressing, is used in the production of this champagne, guaranteeing its purity and unique character.

The Special Cuvée is aged in the cellar for nearly three years, more than twice the time required by the Champagne appellation. This long rest in the cellar allows the wine to develop all its complexity and depth. The blend gives pride of place to reserve wines, some of which have been kept in magnums for 7 to 15 years. The dosage is moderate, at 6 to 7 grams per liter, ensuring a perfect balance between freshness and structure.
