Deeply rooted in tradition and unparalleled quality, Bollinger is known as one of the world's most prestigious champagne houses. Their Special Cuvée, the most beloved of their range, is a paragon of elegance and finesse. And that's no surprise! The rich bouquet of this champagne is thanks to a masterful blend: 60% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay, and 15% Meunier. Each grape variety contributes to the unique character of this champagne. Add to that the fact that an astonishing 85% of these grapes come from Grand and Premier Cru vineyards—hand-picked to ensure their superior quality.
Bollinger: A Journey Through Time
In the picturesque village of Aÿ, the foundation was laid in 1829 for what is now known as Champagne House Bollinger. Since then, Bollinger has dedicated itself to creating champagnes with a distinctively powerful and complex style. Driven by a quest for perfection, Bollinger has set a standard that few can match. The inspiring collaboration between Athanase Hennequin de Villermont, a naval officer who made history during the American Revolutionary War, Paul Renaudin, and Jacques Bollinger has created a legacy of champagne expertise.
The Taste and Elegance of Bollinger Special Cuvée
The name "Special Cuvée" was born in 1911, thanks to a suggestion from Georges Bollinger's British agent. The idea was simple: a champagne this special deserves a name that reflects its refinement. And what an apt choice it turned out to be! This Special Cuvée is a symphony of flavors: a soft, seductive mousse followed by notes of ripe fruit, apple, and overripe peaches, subtly enhanced with hints of spice, nuts, and the luxurious aroma of brioche bread. It's an experience you won't soon forget.
