    Overview

    Bollinger Special Cuvee Half Bottle - 1846 Bottle Design

     
    Champagne Bollinger has launched a new bottle shape for the Half Bottle, inspired by a nineteenth-century bottle rediscovered in the company's cellars which dates back to 1846.

    The brand new 1846 bottle design, unique in Champagne, while rooted in the company's history, aims to express better still all the qualities of a great Champagne.

    Tasting Notes:
    Both distinctive and unique, Special Cuvee offers a simple and rare pleasure. Dazzling at the first encounter, consistently endearing when rediscovered. Tasting Special Cuvee is the proof of the power and finesse of Pinot Noir. A fine combination of palate weight and elegance, vinosity and length.
     
    Depending on the vintage, 100% of Grand Crus and part of the Premier Crus are barrel fermented. Bollinger uses small tanks to conduct the fermentation of the other crus. Special Cuvee is a blend of wines coming from the most recent harvest, and also wines from previous harvests including reserve wines held in magnum.

    Grape Variety:
    Pinot Noir (60%), Chardonnay (25%) and Pinot Meunier (15%). 

    Technical Characteristics:
    ABV - 12%

    Dosage - Light. 7 - 9 g/l 

    Ageing:
    The wine matures over a minimum period of 3 years in the Cellar.

    Pairing with food:
    Perfect chilled as an aperitif, or served with plain sushi, pata negra ham, lobster, scallops, grilled sea bass, quail, or cheeses such as Chaource or Brie. 

    Review:
    "You are either into Bolly or you're not. It is rich, full, firm, imposing, masterful, heady, mouth-filling, intense, aromatic, weighty, serious and takes no prisoners. And, if you're not into Bolly, you're missing something. Of course, I realise the taste of wine is

    personal and purely subjective, but surely Bolly can transcend that - it is omnipotent after all!"

    Matthew Jukes, The Wine List 2007
