Bollinger Special Cuvée n.v.




This cuvée is the result of 60% Pinot Noir (of which 35 percent comes from the village of Ay), 25% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Meunier. It matures on its lees for three years, more than twice the minimum required by the regulations (15 months). The vins de réserve are stored in magnums, whose purpose is to slow down the oxidation process.

The dress is brilliant golden yellow with noble and austere, fine and durable bubble. The nose is elegant, intense and persistent, with toasted hazelnut, almond and coffee. It continues with sponge cake, crust crispy bread and hay, citrus, cedar and pineapple.

The mouth is nothing more than a confirmation. Elegant and dry input, large and complex palate, with great balance. The sip is creamy and fruity, with returns of pastry. A strong minerality gives the momentum.

A fine acidity holds an imposing structure, very well integrated. The persistence is long and remarkably.
An indisputable excellence of a unique maison.
