Dosage: Moderate, 7 to 8 grams per litre

The Special Cuvée undergoes fermentation in old oak barrels, resulting in a rich and complex champagne with layers of flavour. Its creamy texture, thanks to the bubbles and yeast autolysis, adds depth to the vibrant lime and lemon notes on the palate.

Tasting Notes:

  • Colour: A golden hue, characteristic of black grape varieties, with fine and persistent bubbles.
  • Nose: A beautiful aromatic complexity featuring ripe fruit and spicy aromas. Hints of roasted apples, apple compote, and peaches bring warmth and richness to the bouquet.
  • Palate: The palate offers a harmonious balance of structure, length, and vivacity. With velvet-like bubbles, the champagne presents flavours of pear, brioche, and fresh walnut, alongside a subtle spiciness that adds depth. The finish is pleasingly dry with an unexpected touch of delicacy.

A very special cuvée

The name of Bollinger’s emblematic champagne, with its English spelling, encapsulates its entire history. It was the British agent of Georges Bollinger who, in 1911, christened it “Special Cuvée”, as he found the expression “non-vintage brut” did not befit a champagne of such subtlety. Over a century later, the name of the champagne emblematic of Bollinger’s expertise still encapsulates its entire history.

This impressed on labels and minds what the tastebuds already knew: that Special Cuvée was truly very… special. It bears out the House’s hallmark know-how and ability to recreate year after year a cuvée with a constancy of style and quality.

The delicate assembly

The expression of a harvest and a majority of reserve wines, some of them held in magnums for between 5 and 15 years
Special Cuvée is composed of over 85% Grand and Premier crus of the three main Champagne varieties: 60% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay and 15% Meunier. It is cellar aged for twice as long as required by appellation regulations. It is moderately dosed at between 7 and 8 grams per litre.

A wonderful aromatic complexity

Special Cuvée is the fruit of a precise blend of several harvest and above all of reserve wines, which lend the wine all its structure and make it a reference of the Bollinger style.

Tasting recommendations

Special Cuvée is perfect shared among friends, for a simple and meaningful moment. It is the champagne we give to the people we love and who love nice things. To enhance its unique style, bouquet and aromas, this wine is best served between 8 and 10°C. You can enjoy Special Cuvée right away, or choose to age it in your cellar.
