Bollinger Brut Special Cuvee Champagne 750ml
96 points Tyson Stelzer (The Champagne Guide): True to the mandate of attentiveness to the intricate details of freshness, Special Cuvée continues its evolution to a fresher and more lively style. The fragrant, red-fruited generosity that defines the southern Montagne de Reims style of Bollinger leaps from the glass in a captivating panoply of red apples, red cherries and succulent red berries of all kinds, intricately juxtaposed by the cut of citrus freshness. Old barrel fermentation and lees age unite in amplifying a deep core of spicy complexity. The generous, creamy texture of barrels and lees magnificently contrasts the pronounced fine, salty chalk minerality of esteemed crus. As brilliant and rock-solid as ever. (Edition VII; 2024)"
96 points James Halliday (Wine Companion): "Surely the most underpriced champagne on the market today, yet one of the most complex. The 60/25/15% pinot noir/chardonnay/pinot meunier blend is of scant importance compared with the 400 components with 60% reserves, the oldest 8+ years old. Majestically complex and layered in a jewelled crown of freshness. Special. (6/17/21)"
95 points Decanter: "If it’s good enough for James Bond, it’s good enough for you. Bollinger Champagne has made a number of cameos in James Bond films over the year. This non-vintage Special Cuvée is an example of a classic Champagne done well. Notes of marzipan on the nose and the palate give toastiness and leesy notes, specifically sourdough. It’s classic for a reason and would only elevate any table it finds itself on. Drinking Window: 2022-2032. (12/27/23)"
