bollinger spécial cuvée: a historic signature of the house

Founded in 1829 in Aÿ, the house Champagne Bollinger is among the most prestigious references in the Champagne vineyard. Its identity is based in part on a strong presence of Pinot Noir, a grape variety that brings power, structure, and aromatic depth.

The bollinger spécial cuvée is based on a precise blend dominated by Pinot Noir, complemented by Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. A significant portion of reserve wines, sometimes kept for several years, enhances the complexity of this cuvée.

The house also favors a demanding vinification process, with a portion of the wines fermented in old casks. This choice contributes to the ample texture and wine-like signature of the champagne.

A recognized savoir-faire worldwide

For nearly two centuries, Bollinger has cultivated an artisanal and demanding approach, based on respect for terroir and time.

This philosophy explains the strong international recognition of the house, regularly associated with great gastronomic tables and exceptional moments.
