Wine Description

Bollinger Brut Special Cuvee NV showcases a golden color, distinctive of black grape varieties, with very fine bubbles. On the nose, this classic Champagne bursts with beautiful aromatic complexity, featuring ripe fruit and spicy aromas, alongside hints of roasted apples, apple compote, and peaches. The palate offers a subtle combination of structure, length, and vivacity, with velvety bubbles. Flavors of pear, brioche, and spicy aromas with notes of fresh walnut elevate this Champagne, making it a delightful experience.

Crafted by the renowned Bollinger Champagne house, this cuvée is a blend of 60% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay, and 15% Pinot Meunier, with a portion of reserve wines kept in magnums. The result is a rich, full-bodied, and elegant NV Champagne that embodies both power and finesse. With an ABV of 12%, Bollinger Brut Special Cuvee NV is a perfect choice for any occasion.

The aromas include hazelnut, a bouquet of peach and apple, pâtissière, and a touch of smokiness from the oak fermentation. On the palate, you will find a delightful combination of acidity and flavors such as cassis, gingerbread, almond extract, and a hint of lemon and anise. The complexity and depth of this Champagne are impressive, with fermentation in both bottles and oak barrels contributing to its unique character.

Had a glass of Bollinger brut champagne at a friend’s. The taste was a symphony of flavors – the green apple and peach, the yeast and toast, and a dash of minerals. It was like biting into a fresh, delicious fruit loaf.

Critical Acclaim

WS 93

Wine Spectator

A beautiful Champagne. Complex and elegant, evoking ginger, jasmine, citrus and honey aromas and flavors, accented by a biscuit and grain component coming as much from barrel fermentation as yeast aging. Very firmly structured and long. Enjoy with Asian foods or Parmesan cheese. Drink now through 2006. 9,500 cases imported.

WE 94

Wine Enthusiast

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. Imported by Paterno Wines International.

AWC 96

Australian Wine Companion

Spectacularly complex ‘Poor Man's Krug’, a Catherine Wheel of spice and apple aromas and flavours; superb structure and imposing length. Surely the greatest value champagne of all. More than 300 parcels from more than 85% grand crus and premier crus, 15% of the base wine fermented in old barrels; 60/25/15% pinot noir, chardonnay and pinot meunier.

WA 91

Wine Advocate

The NV Brut Special Cuvee is fabulous. Hints of pears, pastry crust and hazelnut lead to an expansive core of fruit. There is plenty of the signature Bollinger oxidative style in this rich, enveloping Champagne. Once again the Special Cuvee is one of the best Champagnes in its price range. This is Lot L114501. Disgorged April 26, 2011. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2015.

ST 91

Stephen Tanzer

Deep aromas of ginger, toffee, butter and nutskin; reminded me of maturing white Burgundy. Full-bodied and intense, with flavors of toasted bread, spiced apple, baked pear and nutskin. Sappy, deep and strong in extract; this has impressive palate presence. Finishes with excellent subtle persistence. A particularly harmonious bottle of Bollenger, and a perfect dinner-table Champagne. 91 pts. $45. 11/02.

DEC 96

Decanter

60% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay, 15% Meunier sourced from more than 300 crus, including 85% grands and premiers crus; 15% fermented in old oak barrels. The complexity and richness of Special Cuvée is unparalleled among the entry non-vintage blends of every Champagne house, short of ascending to the mesosphere of Krug. Its grand recipe explains why, built on incredible depth of 50%-60% reserves. Triumphant complexity is a given at Bollinger, but it’s the dynamic freshness and vitality that really set it apart as one of the most affordable Champagne benchmarks.

Jeb Dunnuck

A rich though youthful golden hue, the NV Champagne Special Cuvée Brut is classic and ripe with lush, rounded, and complex aromas of golden apricot, hazelnut, wet stone, and black cherry. Made with 45% of the wine coming from the 2019 vintage, with 55% reserve wine, it’s full-bodied yet elegant and light on its feet, with a ripe and luxurious feel and just a hint of warmth on the finish. The mousse is refined and rounded. Long on the palate, it's inviting now but will have plenty of life ahead of it if stored property. This exceptional cuvée with its distinctive personality continues to be one of the best entry wines to the range from this house and is a benchmark wine for them. - Audrey Frick

James Suckling

Lovely density and a fine-bubble texture. Dried apple and apricot with hints of dried flowers. Medium to full body. with medium-rich fruit. Spice, zest and ginger character. Usually 10% in barrel. 60% pinot noir, 25% chardonnay and 15% pinot meunier. About 40% reserve wine kept in magnums. Always really well done. Drink now.

WAS 92

Wine & Spirits

A vinous Champagne, this has pinot-noir depths of flavor, the structure enhanced by barrel-fermented reserve wines. Youthfully blunt in its power, this will benefit from a year in the cellar, when it can settle into its dry mineral savor and hazelnut grace.

Wilfred Wong

In my nearly five decades of working in the wine trade—I started young—Bollinger has been my number one Champagne of choice. This wine has been consistently excellent. The current Special Cuvée Brut seems a bit fresher and brighter than past efforts. TASTING NOTES: This wine is beautiful. Its aromas and flavors of ripe apples and light yeasty notes—enhanced with a touch of chalkiness—should make it an excellent choice with clams and linguine in a reduction sauce of white wine, slivered garlic, and freshly-cracked black pepper.
