Special Cuvée is the quintessential expression
of the Bollinger style.
On average, 80% of the grapes come from Premiers
and Grands Crus in Champagne. To ensure the consistency and continuity
of the style, Bollinger adds to the blend a maximum of 10% of
Reserve wines, which have been kept in magnum.
The blend consists on average of 60% pinot noir,
25% chardonnay and 15% pinot meunier, harvested from 30 different
villages in Champagne. Special Cuvée matures for a minimum
of three years in Bollinger's cellars prior to release.
