這是所有無年分香檳的經典標誌
於1911年 Georges Bollinger 的英國代理提議他起用 Special Cuvée 做酒名，因為他認為“non-vintage brut”與這樣精緻的香檳不夠合襯。在超過 100 年後，Bollinger 的這瓶重點香檳至今仍代表著他們的專業和歷史。
Special Cuvée 是葡萄和存酒（reserve wines）的細緻混釀，存酒中包括來自 Bollinger's 酒窖內陳年7至15年的大瓶裝；它見證了酒莊年復一年釀造出的風格和品質始終如一。

與Bollinger的rosé一樣, 最新推出的Bollinger NV Brut Special Cuvée表現尤為出色。散發出蜂蜜蘋果、清脆的核果、牛油糕點、熟檸檬和新鮮核桃的香氣。酒體中等至濃厚，質感飽滿，酒香濃郁。核心是美麗成熟的水果、活潑的酸度和慕斯般的柔滑質感。這是一款迷人而有特色的香檳，證明了Special Cuvée堅定地緊守它所屬的位置。
AN ICON AMONG NON-VINTAGE CHAMPAGNES
In 1911, Georges Bollinger’s British agent gave him the idea for the name Special Cuvée as he found the expression “non-vintage brut” did not befit a champagne of such subtlety. More than a hundred years later, the name of Bollinger’s key figure champagne still symbolizes both its expertise and its history.
Special Cuvée is the result of the delicate blending between harvest grapes and a majority of reserve wines, including some aged in magnums for more than 15 years in Bollinger’s cellars. It bears out the House’s hallmark know-how and ability to recreate year after year a cuvée with a constancy of style and quality.

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.

Like its rosé counterpart, the latest release of Bollinger's NV Brut Special Cuvée is showing especially well, bursting from the glass with aromas of honeyed apples, crisp stone fruit, buttery pastry, ripe lemons and fresh walnuts. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and vinous, with a deep core of beautifully ripe fruit, racy acids and a pillowy mousse, it's a charming, characterful wine that proves that Special Cuvée is firmly back where it belongs.
