Champagne Bollinger Special Cuvée NV, artfully composed by Bollinger’s cellar masters in Aÿ, Champagne, this emblematic non-vintage bottling embodies the House’s Pinot Noir-driven style. A blend of roughly 60 % Pinot Noir, 25 % Chardonnay and 15 % Meunier, enriched by up to 50 % reserve wines-including magnums aged up to 15 years-and fermented up to 30 % in oak, it is aged more than twice the regulatory minimum and dosed around 8 g/L. In the glass, it displays golden hues and a fine, velvety bead. Aromas of roasted apple, brioche, toasted walnut and pear segue into a full-bodied palate with depth, structure and lively acidity. Critics acclaim its complexity-95 pts (Decanter), 93 (James Suckling), 92 (Robert Parker). A sumptuous, cellar-worthy cuvée of power, refinement and time-tested elegance.
