The creation of the Special Cuvée Bollinger in half-bottle

The Special Cuvée Bollinger in half-bottle is the result of a blend of 60% Pinot Noir, complemented by 25% Chardonnay and 15% Meunier. More than 85% of the grapes used come from Grand and Premier crus, ensuring exceptional quality. Only the cuvée, that is, the first juice extracted from the pressing, is used, thus ensuring purity and finesse in this iconic champagne.

This Special Cuvée benefits from extended aging of nearly 3 years in the cellar, well beyond the requirements of the Champagne appellation. This long rest allows the wine to develop remarkable depth and complexity. A significant part of the blend consists of reserve wines, some of which have been kept in magnums for 7 to 15 years, thus enhancing the aromatic richness of the cuvée. With a moderate dosage of 6 to 7 grams per liter, this champagne displays a perfect balance between freshness and roundness.
