Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
The lively acidity of the base wines is tempered by oak ageing and the reserve wines, delivering a balanced and persistent freshness.
Roundness
The dominance of Pinot Noir and vinification in oak casks bring a generous, vinous roundness that is the hallmark of the Bollinger style.
Power
A firm structure and generous body, reflecting the finest crus of the Montagne de Reims and the Grande Vallée de la Marne.
Length
The finish is long, marked by an elegant, subtle bitterness and lingering notes of roasted hazelnut.

TASTING NOTES

A deep golden robe with amber highlights, fine and persistent mousse. The nose reveals aromas of fresh brioche, golden apple and dried fruits, enriched by subtle woody notes from ageing in Burgundian oak. On the palate, the texture is generous and vinous, with fine tension, accents of hazelnut, white peach and toasted bread, leading to a long, gently spiced finish.

Terroirs

A blend of more than 85% Grands and Premiers Crus, with a majority of Pinot Noir sourced from the Montagne de Reims and the Grande Vallée de la Marne. The high proportion of reserve wines — aged for up to 15 years in magnum — lends the cuvée an exceptional complexity and depth.

Bollinger

About this house

Founded in 1829 in Aÿ, at the heart of the Grande Vallée de la Marne, Bollinger is one of the rare great Champagne houses to remain family-owned and independent. The only house still vinifying a portion of its wines in small Burgundian oak casks, it has cultivated for two centuries a powerful, structured style of remarkable depth.

Holder of the Royal Warrant of the British Crown since 1884, the house has built its international reputation on exacting standards: a minimum ageing period more than twice that required by Appellation rules, meticulous management of a solera of reserve wines aged in magnums, and ownership of its own vineyards covering nearly 12% of its needs. The Spécial Cuvée, whose name was suggested in 1911 by a British agent, remains its most iconic expression.

Food pairing

The perfect pairing

Between the champagne and its dish
Aperitif

Sa bulle fine et sa rondeur vineuse en font l'accompagnement idéal de gougères dorées, dont les notes beurrées et fromagères épousent la brioche caractéristique du champagne.

Starter

Les arômes d'agrumes et de fines herbes du gravlax dialoguent avec la fraîcheur acidulée de la Spécial Cuvée, tandis que sa puissance tient tête au saumon.

Main course

La richesse vineuse et les notes boisées de la cuvée s'accordent harmonieusement avec l'onctuosité du risotto et la profondeur aromatique des morilles.
