Bollinger, Champagne, Special Cuvee Brut nv
This wine is typically quite complex with earthy notes that are not always embraced by those who favor more fruit-forward styles of sparkling. While I’m a fan of fruit too, I love the multitude of flavors in this wine. On average the grapes for the cuvee are 60% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay and 15% Meunier sourced from 30 different crus. The Pinot and Chardonnay are all grand and premier cru. In the cellar, 5-10% reserve wines are blended into the mix and the wines rest for at least 3 years after the secondary fermenation. Produced in Ay, NM-121-001, 12% in Nov ’08 this wine is now up to $49.69 at Bottle Barn and in May ’10 up to $59.99 at K&L Bollinger
Love that Bolly
