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

The Special Cuvee is the purest expression of the Bollinger style. It is pale gold in color with rather yeasty aromas on the nose. It is dry with a masculine style and toasty flavors on the mouth, with great length and a perfect balance. The end result is a complex, bready, toasty, baked apple bouquet, a round palate, and a pleasing dry finish.

The grapes mainly come from grands crus and premiers crus in Champagne Two third of the grapes comes from Bollinger's own vineyards which guarantee consistency in the quality of its wines.
30 crus of the Departement of the Marne have a part in the composition of the Blends, 80% of the grapes coming from grands crus and premiers crus of the Montagne de Reims and of the Côte des Blancs.
