Bollinger Special Cuvee Brut Champagne

A graceful Champagne, with flavors of black cherry, Asian pear, toast point and salted almond dancing across the palate. Bright and buoyant, with a fine, lacy mousse and delicate notes of lime blossom, ground coffee and exotic spices playing on the finish. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. *Highly Recommended* 93 Points Wine Spectator, November 2022

Still family owned. 60% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay , and 15% Pinot Meunier. Yeasty, bright, some brioche, breadcrumbs, golden apple. Mineral finish and some tangerine peel. Nicely balanced. D&M Tasting Notes March 2023

Bollinger epitomizes what is often referred to as the "British style" of Champagne: full-bodied, powerful and rich, more appropriate at the dinner table than as an aperitif, and dominated by Pinot Noir. The house's basic Special Cuvée, which is typically austere on release, features mature notes of toffee and toasted bread due to the fact that a portion of the wine is fermented in cask and to the inclusion of older reserve wines in the blend.  7-8 grams of dosage
