In 1911, Georges Bollinger's British agent came up with the name Special Cuvée, written in English without an accent. He found the expression ‘Brut sans année’ inappropriate for a champagne of such subtlety...

More than a hundred years later, the name of this emblematic cuvée from the House of Bollinger still contains all its history. It's a way of imprinting on the label and in our memories what our taste buds already know: Special Cuvée is really very... special. It reflects all the House's expertise, in its ability to recreate a cuvée that is consistent in style and quality every year.

Special Cuvée is made from over 85% of Grands Crus and Premiers Crus from the three main Champagne grape varieties: 60% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay and 15% Meunier. It is a delicate blend of the expression of a single harvest and a majority of reserve wines, some of which are kept in magnums for 7 to 15 years.

It matures in the cellar more than twice as long as the Appellation rules. The dosage is moderate, between 6 and 7 grams per litre.

On the nose, it has a very complex bouquet with aromas of ripe fruit and spices. On the nose, notes of roasted apple, stewed fruit and peach.

On the palate, there's a subtle combination of structure, length and liveliness. The bubbles are as fine as velvet. Aromas of pear, brioche and spices, with hints of fresh walnut, come through on the palate.

‘A creamy structure that fills the mouth and a rather imposing and powerful structure’ James Suckling
