Bollinger Special Cuvée
“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!”
The Wine List 2007 - The top 250 Wines of the Year.

94 points Wine Enthusiast Review
The Bollinger style is always rich, food friendly and impressive. This wine is all of those things, with power and intensity of flavor along with ripe fruit, a layer of toastiness and a dry aftertaste. This is a style of wine that can take even more bottle aging.
Beverage Dynamics Review Rated 97
Toasted macadamia nuts, oatmeal cookies and white chocolate flavors dominate; acid is there, so pair with anything from broiled filet mignon to oatmeal cookies; awesome and still one of Champagne's greatest values.
Wine Spectator 93 Pts. - According to the Wine Spectator: Complex aromas and flavors of rose, grilled nuts, citrus and a gently oxidative note course through this muscular, full-bodied bubbly. Despite its power, there's a gracefulness. The aftertaste combines citrus and spice. Drink now through 2008. 10,000 cases imported.
winemaker's notes:
The denomination Special Cuvée was created in 1911. The idea came from William Folks, then partner of the illustrious London House of Mentzendorff. This great wine lover felt it was an insult to simply call this great wine "non vintage". The suggestion of naming it "Special Cuvée" was immediately approved by Monsieur Bollinger.
A blend par excellence, the Special Cuvée is the purest expression of the Bollinger style; of its craftsmanship and its singular conception of what a champagne should be. It is, therefore, on this wine that the House of Bollinger shows how it is different from other Champagne Houses, asserts its qualitative policy and by which it asks to be judged.
