The Bollinger style, density and subtlety
It was Georges Bollinger's British agent who gave him the name Special Cuvée in 1911. Indeed, he finds the expression “Brut sans Année” inappropriate for a champagne of such subtlety… More than a hundred years later, the name of the champagne emblematic of Bollinger know-how still contains its entire history.
