Description
Bollinger Special Cuvée Brut Aÿ Champagne is a classic Champagne with notes of brioche and honey. In 1911, Georges Bollinger’s British agent gave him the idea for the name Special Cuvée – “Special” written the English way, without an accent. He thought the French expression “Brut Sans Année” was no match for such a subtle champagne… More than a hundred years later, the name of Bollinger’s key figure champagne still symbolizes both its expertise and its history.
Dry, creamy, very fine and toasty with a rich fruitiness. A golden colour, distinctive of black grape varieties with very fine bubbles. Beautiful aromatic complexity on the nose: ripe fruit and spicy aromas, hints of roasted apples, apple compote and peaches. This Champagne has a subtle combination of structure, length and vivacity.
Established in 1829 by Jacques Bollinger and Paul Renaudin, Bollinger is one of the most renowned Champagne houses in the world. From 1941 until 1977, the business was run by Madame Lily Bollinger who significantly expanded the Champagne house’s vineyard holdings. Today it is managed by her great-nephew, Ghislain de Montgolfier. Bollinger’s house style is rich, complex and muscular, producing Pinot-Noir dominated Champagnes with compelling depth and power and longevity.
