Bollinger Special Cuvée Brut NV

Bollinger's flagship cuvée is a delightful indulgence, boasting a richer style and a touch more body than most. The extended time it spends on its lees contributes to its remarkable complexity and depth. With brioche and toasty notes leading the charge, it’s a luxurious experience from start to finish. Ripe orchard fruits and zesty citrus flavours mingle beautifully, while subtle hints of spice add an extra layer of intrigue. It's the sort of bottle you can bring out for any special occasion, yet it retains a wonderfully understated charm.

Try serving it with some freshly shucked oysters or a simple roast chicken; it’ll really bring out the best in both.

Bollinger, an iconic name in Champagne, is all about understated excellence. Founded in 1829, this family-owned house has a reputation for crafting rich, complex wines with a distinct depth of flavour. It's a bit of a cult favourite among those in the know, often chosen by those who appreciate a bit more structure and body in their bubbly. They do things the old-fashioned way, with a lot of care and attention to detail. The vineyards are mostly Grand and Premier Cru, and they age their wines longer than most, which gives Bollinger its signature elegance and finesse.
