Created from a skilful \u003cstrong\u003eblend\u003c\/strong\u003e of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier from Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards, it displays a golden yellow colour and an extremely velvety perlage. On the nose, it reveals remarkable aromatic complexity, with clear notes of baked apple, brioche and toasted almond. On the palate, it is dry and fresh, finishing with a persistent aftertaste and a distinct \u003cstrong\u003esavoury and mineral trace\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBollinger has cultivated its own vineyards since 1829 in the heart of \u003cstrong\u003eChampagne\u003c\/strong\u003e, France. The estate extends over prestigious plots, focusing on parcels classified almost entirely as Grand Cru and Premier Cru. The dominant grape variety is \u003cstrong\u003ePinot Noir\u003c\/strong\u003e, which imparts a deep structure and pronounced vinosity to the house's wines. Careful agronomic management ensures fruit of the highest quality, forming the solid foundation of the organoleptic profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction follows the strict rules of the \u003cstrong\u003eTraditional Method\u003c\/strong\u003e, with primary fermentation carried out in small \u003cstrong\u003esteel\u003c\/strong\u003e and wooden barrels. The must rests in these vessels until spring, protected in underground cellars with chalk walls. A key element for stylistic consistency is the use of precious \u003cstrong\u003ereserve wines\u003c\/strong\u003e, aged separately for many years. After the prise de mousse, the Champagne matures on the lees for at least three years, a period that enriches its flavour and ensures formidable \u003cstrong\u003eageing potential\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1829, Maison Bollinger is epitomised in the \u003cstrong\u003eBollinger Special Cuvée\u003c\/strong\u003e, a name created in 1911 by a British agent. The blend is composed of over 85% \u003cstrong\u003eGrand Cru\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes, highlighting the structured elegance of Pinot Noir. After fermentation in small barrels, the wine rests in historic underground cellars carved into chalk. The use of fine reserve wines and three years of ageing bestow exceptional aromatic richness, further enhanced by the \u003cstrong\u003eMagnum format\u003c\/strong\u003e, the ideal size for a sublime evolution over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bollinger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45726690148523,"sku":"58655","price":152.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/bollinger-special-cuvee-brut-magnum_58655_1_9f458a3c-58c9-41a6-9cb5-2f6aa712f4bf.webp?v=1773786835","url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-nl\/products\/bollinger-champagne-special-cuvee-brut-magnum","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
