Imagine: a majestic MAGNUM bottle containing 1.5 liters of one of the world's most renowned champagnes. Bollinger, with its impeccable reputation, is more than just a champagne house; it's synonymous with refinement and class. Their Special Cuvée, often considered Bollinger's crown jewel, is nothing short of spectacular.
The Exceptional Blend Behind the Bollinger MAGNUM Special Cuvée
Every sip of this champagne tells a story, and that story begins with a carefully crafted blend. Comprising 60% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay, and 15% Meunier, each grape creates a symphony of flavors. The grapes are hand-harvested from vineyards where a remarkable 85% are classified as Grand and Premier Cru.
Bollinger's journey to excellence began in 1829. Founded by three visionaries: Athanase Hennequin de Villermont, Paul Renaudin, and Jacques Bollinger, the winery has lived up to its promise of excellence ever since. Located in the picturesque village of Aÿ, Bollinger's rich history is as fascinating as its champagne, with roots stretching back to the American Revolutionary War!
The Taste Experience of Bollinger MAGNUM Special Cuvée
In 1911, Georges Bollinger's British agent suggested the name Special Cuvée—the English "special," without the French accent. A fitting name for a champagne that stands out from the crowd. The aroma of this champagne transports you to a summer garden, with aromas of ripe fruit, a hint of apple, and the sweetness of overripe peaches. One sip, and you're greeted by a delicate mousse, followed by flavors of apple, peach, crunchy walnuts, and the rich aroma of brioche bread.
