Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
A precise acidity underpins the whole without ever overwhelming the richness of the blend.
Roundness
Reserve wines aged under magnum and partial fermentation in oak bestow a broad, velvety texture.
Power
A dominant proportion of Pinot Noir imparts a vinous, structured backbone — the absolute signature of the Bollinger style.
Length
The finish lingers at length on spiced and roasted notes, persistent and wonderfully digestible.

TASTING NOTES

A brilliant golden robe with warm, glinting reflections, threaded with fine, persistent bubbles. On the nose, a generous bouquet blending ripe apple, buttery brioche and a hint of toasted hazelnut. On the palate, the attack is broad and vinous, revealing notes of candied fruit, toasted bread and gentle spice, leading to a long, profound finish.

Terroirs

A blend sourced from over 85% Grands and Premiers Crus drawn from more than 300 individual plots across the entire Champagne region, incorporating a significant proportion of reserve wines — some aged in magnums under cork — matured in the House's own old oak casks.

Bollinger

About this house

Founded in 1829 in Aÿ, at the heart of the Montagne de Reims, Bollinger remains one of the rare great Champagne Houses to have stayed both family-owned and independent. It upholds exacting artisanal methods: partial fermentation in old oak casks, ageing of reserve wines under magnum, and extended lees ageing well beyond the Appellation's minimum requirements.

Iconic the world over, Bollinger embodies a structured, vinous and complex style, entirely removed from easy lightness. The Special Cuvée — named as such from 1911 at the suggestion of the House's British agent, who found the designation 'Brut sans année' too commonplace — is its ultimate ambassador: a perpetual blend of remarkable consistency, served at the finest tables for over a century.

Food pairing

The perfect pairing

Between the champagne and its dish
Aperitif

Its brioche notes and fine mousse make it an ideal companion to freshly baked Comté gougères, served piping hot from the oven.

The richness of the Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with the briny sweetness and citrus brightness of a salmon gravlax.

Main course

Its vinous power and long finish harmonise wonderfully with the earthy, luxurious depth of a morel mushroom risotto.
