Product Description
A golden color, distinctive of black grape varieties. Very fine bubbles. On the nose, it has a beautiful aromatic complexity, ripe fruit, and spicy aromas, with hints of roasted apples, apple compote, and peaches. On the palate, there is a subtle combination of structure, length, and vivacity. The bubbles are like velvet. Flavors of pear, brioche and spicy aromas, notes of fresh walnut.
Pair with all fish, especially sushi and sashimi, shellfish such as shrimp, prawns, crayfish and grilled lobster, poultry and white meat, cashews, parmesan or prosciutto.

Decanter60% 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.

Wine SpectatorA graceful Champagne, with flavors of black cherry, Asian pear, toast point and salted almond dancing across the palate. Bright and buoyant, with a fine, lacy mousse and delicate notes of lime blossom, ground coffee and exotic spices playing on the finish. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier.

Wine & SpiritsA 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.
Champagne is essentially carbonated confetti in a bottle—born in the chilly chalk cellars of northeastern France yet strutting out like a gold-studded diva on awards night. Legend says monk Dom Pérignon discovered the sparkle and shouted, “Come quickly, I’m drinking the stars!”—which is precisely the sort of dramatic entrance Champagne still makes at every party. Each racing bubble whispers, “You’re classier than your credit score,” while gently urging you toward oysters, caviar, and eventually those questionable dance moves you’ll blame on the playlist. It can elevate Tuesday takeout to royal-court status, transform a breakup into an “I’m fabulous anyway” moment, and convince even the shyest guest they speak flawless French—oui, absolument! Just remember: beneath that elegant pop lurks a mischievous fizz capable of inflating egos and turning toasts into karaoke—so sip with both pinky and sense of humor properly raised.
Non-vintage sparkling wine, commonly referred to as NV or "Méthode Traditionnelle," is an amalgamation of wines from various years, skillfully blended to achieve a consistent and harmonious flavor profile. Produced using the traditional method, this sparkling wine undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle, contributing to its effervescence and complexity. By intentionally avoiding a specific vintage designation, winemakers have the flexibility to maintain a reliable and recognizable style, allowing consumers to enjoy a reliable and delicious sparkling experience year after year.
