About this bottle

The flagship of the classic champagne house Bollinger (founded in 1829) is the Cuvée Spéciale, a refined and powerful champagne. Most of the grapes come from Grand Cru and Premier Cru communes and are fermented in wood. Pinot Noir is the main player that gives this champagne power and length, while the fine acidity ensures a fine balance. This is a blend of consistent quality that impresses year after year.

About Bollinger

Bollinger was founded in 1829 by Henri Bollinger. He was born into a family of winegrowers in the village of Aÿ. Henri's grandfather, Nicolas Joseph Bollinger, was a prosperous farmer who owned vines in the vineyards around Aÿ. In 1750, he built a small winery on his estate where he produced crops for his own use and to sell to his neighbors.

Today, Bollinger owns vineyards of over 180 hectares (including a large number of Grands Crus and Premier Crus) and buys grapes. The company is still family owned and is not part of a large group.

Bollinger is known for producing champagnes dominated by pinot noir, vinified mainly in oak barrels, which makes them vinous and gives them a good ageing potential. Another characteristic of Bollinger is that the reserve wines are kept in magnum bottles with cork.
