Bollinger Special Cuvée Non Vintage Champagne 75cl is Bollinger's benchmark wine.
Bollinger only produces two different blends; that designed for the Special Cuvée, and that which will become Grande Année.
Following the harvest period, Bollinger's decisions on blending are not made before January. The blend for the Special Cuvée is an ideal version of the classic Champagne blend, using the different grapes of a given year from a variety of crus, with the addition of older, reserve wines. This blend necessarily incorporates subtle variations each year whilst remaining consistent to a style. It is, therefore, the hardest of all to make.
The Special Cuvee Champagne contains the full expression of the Bollinger style and the House feels it should be judged on this - its benchmark wine.
