Information
Tasting note Bollinger Champagne Brut
For the eye: a golden color, characteristic of black grape varieties; very fine bubbles. To the nose: a beautiful aromatic complexity; ripe fruit and spicy flavors; hints of roasted apples, mashed potatoes and peaches.
On the palate: a subtle combination of structure, length and liveliness; bubbles such as velvet; pear, brioche and spicy aromas, notes of fresh walnut.

Description
The Special Cuvée is the flagship of the house. Year after year this creation is of the same very high quality. The use of 60% pinot noir for the Special Cuvée gives the champagne its refined structure. The blend consists of three grape varieties. Unique in the process is that champagne Bollinger uses wooden barrels for the upbringing of its wines and that each Special Cuvée is provided with 'vin de réserve': the true treasury of Bollinger. In the extensive cellars of champagne Bollinger (more than 5 kilometers of cellar!) 700.000 bottles of 1.5 liters 'vin de réserve' are located. These wines ripen under a real cork (normally one uses crown caps) and are mixed with the final blend for the Special Cuvée. It is this 'vin de réserve' which ensures that full typical 'Bollinger style'. Minimum ripening time is 36 months. (legally 15 months is sufficient).
60% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay, 15% Meunier.
