Special Cuvee is the quintessential expression of the Bollinger style. On average, 80% of the grapes come from Premiers and Grands Crus in Champagne. To ensure the consistency and continuity of the style, Bollinger adds to the blend a maximum of 10% of Reserve wines, which have been kept in magnum. The blend consists on average of 60% pinot noir, 25% chardonnay and 15% pinot meunier, harvested from 30 different villages in Champagne. Special Cuvee matures for a minimum of three years in Bollingers cellars prior to release. I drink it when Im happy and when Im sad. Sometimes I drink it when Im alone. When I have company, I consider it obligatory. I trifle with it if Im not hungry and drink it when I am. Otherwise I never touch it - unless Im thirsty.(Lily Bollinger, 1971)
