What to Expect
Champagne is specifically a sparkling wine made in the Champagne region of France; every other sparkling is simply that, sparkling wine. Made to be aged for a few to many years, in many languages "Champagne" is synonymous with "party". When young, Champagne exhibits the fresh fruit tones of its "cepage", or blend. Usually based on a blend the features either Chardonnay or Pinot Noir as its main ingredient, Champagne's fruit can range from citrusy to orchard fruits and even red berries. The wine gains distinct yeasty notes from its secondary fermentation, the one that adds the fizz, which is typically described as recalling brioche or bread. As it ages Champagne tends to lose its obvious fruit, which is replaced by subtle nutty tones and subdued elements of dried fruits.
Winemakers Notes
A blend par excellence, Special Cuvée is the most accomplishedexpression of the Bollinger style. Its biscuity nose is endowed with hints ofwhite fruit while the rich, full-bodied palate is perfectly balanced by freshacidity and a soft, delicate mousse. A stylish Champagne that is ideal to drinknow or in the next two or three years.

WE 94 Pts. (Editor's Choice) WS 93Pts - Tasting Notes - The Bollinger style is always rich, food friendly and impressive. This wine is all of those things, with power and intensity of flavor along with ripe fruit, a layer of toastiness and a dry aftertaste. This is a style of wine that can take even more bottle aging.

WE 94 Pts. (Editor's Choice) - WS 93 Pts. - According to the Wine Spectator: Complex aromas and flavors of rose, grilled nuts, citrus and a gently oxidative note course through this muscular, full-bodied bubbly. Despite its power, there's a gracefulness. The aftertase combines citrus and spice. Drink now through 2008.

document.getElementById("NoProductImage").innerHTML = ""; Note : Only available in 7 to 14 days from date of order. Halliday's Top 100 - Champagne for 2003"Whether or not you particularly like the unmistakeable Bollinger style- you have to respect it. Pinot noir (60 per cent) and pinot meunier (15 per cent) drive the wine- augmented by fermentation in old oak barrels. The result is a complex spicy- bready- toasty- baked apple bouquet- the palate complete and round- with an unexpected touch of delicacy- and a pleasing- dry finish." Rating: 94 out of read more...
