Why shop with us?
Bollinger Special Cuvée Brut brings the house’s signature richness and Pinot Noir-led style to a generous magnum format, ideal for sharing or cellaring. Non-vintage in name, it draws on carefully kept reserve wines to maintain a consistent character from one release to the next.
Tasting Notes
Golden in colour with a fine, persistent mousse, it opens with aromas of ripe apple, pear and citrus, alongside notes of brioche, toasted nuts and subtle spice. The palate is full and lively, balancing orchard-fruit richness with freshness and a long, savoury finish.
Enjoy it now for its rounded, expressive character, or keep it in a cool cellar for a few more years to allow its toasty, mature notes to develop.
Production
The blend includes Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir, with reserve wines used to help preserve the house style. Some reserve wines undergo their first fermentation in oak and are kept by cru, grape variety and vintage in sealed magnums for five to twelve years. Special Cuvée then matures on its lees for at least three years before disgorgement, followed by at least three months of cellar rest before release. Specific vineyard and harvesting details are not provided.
Food & Serving
Serve well chilled, around 8–10°C. Its breadth and freshness work especially well with roast chicken, charcuterie, mature cheeses and seafood such as lobster or smoked salmon. Decanting is not usually necessary; open the magnum shortly before serving and pour gently to preserve its fine bubbles.
Producer
Founded in 1829, Bollinger is one of Champagne’s most established houses, based in Aÿ. The producer is particularly associated with a rich, structured house style and the careful ageing of reserve wines—hallmarks reflected in Special Cuvée, its flagship non-vintage Champagne.
