Nose: Aromatic and complex with ripe fruit and spicy aromas. Roasted apples, apple compote and peaches burst on the palate. Brioche and notes of fresh nuts and honey complement the fruitiness.
Palate: Rich, with smoky hints of roasted almond and toasted brioche, this crystalline Champagne offers a finely detailed mousse that carries the firm, citrusy acidity and flavors of patisserie apple, spun honey and tangy black cherry, accented by subtle, aromatic hints of ground cumin and clove, bergamot and chamomile.
Finish: Clean and elegant, with a lingering freshness.

Style Notes: Bollinger Special Cuvée is composed of over 85% Grand and Premier crus of the three main Champagne varieties: 60% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay, and 15% Meunier. It is cellar aged for twice as long as required by appellation regulations, allowing for a perfect blossoming of the aromas.

Food Pairings: Pairs wonderfully with a variety of foods, including seafood dishes such as oysters and lobster, as well as white meats and creamy cheeses like Brie and Camembert. Its crisp acidity and delicate flavors make it a versatile choice for various occasions.
