Bollinger Special Cuvee
Bollinger is one of the few houses in Champagne to remain independent. The cuvee is blended primarily from grapes grown on bollinger estates many of which have vineyards with grand cru and premier cru designations. Year-to-year, bollinger produces a wine that is crisp and focused with citrus and mineral notes and some hints of yeast. The wine has excellent lenght in the finish with hazelnuts coming in at the end. Rated 90 points by The Wine Spectator Wine Enthusiast The Bollinger style is always rich, food friendly and impressive. This wine is all of those things, with power and intensity of flavor along with ripe fruit, a layer of toastiness and a dry aftertaste. This is a style of wine that can take even more bottle aging. Score: 94. —Roger Voss, December 01, 2005.Wine Spectator Complex aromas and flavors of rose, grilled nuts, citrus and a gently oxidative note course through this muscular, full-bodied bubbly. Despite its power, there's a gracefulness. The aftertase combines citrus and spice. Drink now through 2008. Score: 93. —Bruce Sanderson, November 15, 2004. Burghound Here the expressive nose is extremely yeasty and deeply pitched with delicious, vibrant, and crisp middle weight flavors that are precise and clean on the long finish. This is a beautiful and relatively robust effort and I like the way everything is delivered with grace and authority with a firm but not aggressive backbone of acidity. This should be high on the list for those who enjoy cellaring NV examples as it will easily support 10 to 15 years of aging but can also be enjoyed now. A very solid effort at this level. Score: 91. —Allen Meadows, |
