Description

The Special Cuvée Bollinger in magnum is a must-have among the great Champagne cuvées. Its magnum format magnifies this emblematic cuvée, offering even more richness and aromatic complexity. Made primarily from Pinot Noir, this champagne seduces with its perfect balance, depth, and vivacity.

The Making of the Special Cuvée Bollinger in Magnum

The Special Cuvée in magnum is the result of a precise blend: 60% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay, and 15% Meunier. More than 85% of the grapes come from Grand and Premier crus, the finest terroirs of Champagne. Only the first press, known as "la cuvée," is used to make this champagne. These juices from the beginning of the pressing are the purest but also the most tense.

The Special Cuvée benefits from cellar aging of nearly 3 years, allowing the cuvée to develop a beautiful complexity and aromatic depth. Reserve wines, some of which are aged in magnums for 7 to 15 years, add an additional dimension to the blend. The Special Cuvée thus offers many facets to the tasting. With a dosage of 6 to 7 grams per liter, this cuvée perfectly combines freshness and structure.

The Advantages of the Magnum

The magnum, with its 1.5-liter capacity, offers several advantages for champagne. Firstly, the volume of air in proportion to the wine is lower, allowing for slower and more harmonious aging. This favors greater aromatic complexity and preserved freshness for a longer time. Additionally, the magnum format is perfect for special occasions, adding a touch of prestige and conviviality to the tasting. It is also considered one of the best formats for champagne preservation.
