Bollinger Special Cuvee, Champagne

If I could only stock one Champagne it would be this one. Pinot-led, a lot of reserve wine in the blend, and it tastes like something rather than just tasting cold. Details of production; 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. Blend of grapes; 60% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay, 15% Meunier. Over 85% Grands and Premiers Crus Tasting notes; A golden colour with a beautifully fine mousse. The nose is aromatic and complex with ripe fruit and spicy aromas. Roasted apples, apple compote and peaches burst on the palate. Brioche and notes of fresh walnut linger on the lasting finish. A subtle combination of structure, length and vivacity. Who would not like a glass of Bollinger - truly one of life's little pleasures, Enjoy!
