Champagne Special Cuvée Brut 1,5 l Magnum - Bollinger

The Champagne Special Cuvée Brut from Bollinger is a characterful, lively and seductive sparkling wine from the French wine-growing region of Champagne, made from the Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grape varieties.

In the glass, this wine shines in a sparkling gold with light golden highlights. The perlage rises to the surface in very fine bubbles and conjures up a wonderful mousseux. The nose is pampered by an outstanding aromatic complexity. Aromas of roasted apples, stewed apples and peaches unfold - delicately underpinned by spicy notes. On the palate, this French sparkling wine impresses with an excellent combination of structure, length and vivacity. The bubbles envelop like velvet. This is accompanied by elegant aromas of pear, brioche and notes of fresh walnut.

Vinification of the Bollinger Special Cuvée Magnum

The grapes (Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier) come from 85% Grand Cru and Premier Cru vines in Champagne.

The base wine is matured in both stainless steel tanks and oak barrels. The cuvéetation is followed by the second fermentation. This sparkling wine matures on the lees for at least 3 years. This is twice as long as the appellation stipulates. Once the ageing process is complete, the sparkling wine is disgorged.

This sparkling wine from France is an excellent accompaniment to sushi and sashimi, fresh seafood as well as Parmesan cheese and well-smoked ham.
