    Tasting Notes:
    Both distinctive and unique, Special Cuvee offers a simple and rare pleasure. Dazzling at the first encounter, consistently endearing when rediscovered. Tasting Special Cuvee is the proof of the power and finesse of Pinot Noir. A fine combination of palate weight and elegance, vinosity and length.

     

    Depending on the vintage, 100% of Grand Crus and part of the Premier Crus are barrel fermented. Bollinger uses small tanks to conduct the fermentation of the other crus. Special Cuvee is a blend of wines coming from the most recent harvest, and also wines from previous harvests including reserve wines held in magnum.

    Pinot Noir (60%), Chardonnay (25%) and Pinot Meunier (15%).

     

    Technical Characteristics:

    ABV - 12%

    Dosage - Light. 7 - 9 g/l

     

    Ageing:

    The wine matures over a minimum period of 3 years in the Cellar.

     

    Pairing with food:

    Perfect chilled as an aperitif, or served with plain sushi, pata negra ham, lobster,

    scallops, grilled sea bass, quail, or cheeses such as Chaource or Brie.

     

    Review:

    "You are either into Bolly or you're not. It is rich, full, firm, imposing, masterful, heady, mouth-filling, intense, aromatic, weighty, serious and takes no prisoners. And, if you're not into Bolly, you're missing something. Of course, I realise the taste of wine is

    personal and purely subjective, but surely Bolly can transcend that - it is omnipotent after all!"

    Matthew Jukes, The Wine List 2007
