Champagne Bollinger

Special Cuvée Jéroboam

The Special Cuvée represents the best expression of the Bollinger style. The entire know-how of the Maison Bollinger embodies every year a top Champagne, with style and persistent qualities, in unique assemblages – balanced in their roundness, vinousity and elegange.

The Maison Bollinger bases its diversity and qualitative choices on this wine and it is willing to be tested. The assemblage is 60% Pinot Noir (35% from Ay), granting vinousity and complexity, 25% Chardonnay, adding fineness and elegance, as well as 15% Meunier, bringing freshness and elegance.

The grapes comes from their 80% from Grand and Premier Crus territories; for Pinot Noir:  Ay, Tauxeries, Verzenay and Louvois; for Chardonnay: Le Mesnil s/Oger, Oger, Cuis and  Grauves. To maintain quality and style, the maison adds 5 to 10% vins de reserve, which firstly fermented in oak barrels and later conserved according to cru, vine and vintage, fro 5 to 12 years in magnum with cork caps.

The Special Cuvée rests on yeasts for at least 3 years before disgorging: this is a longer period than the time requested by the guidelines (15 months). It also rests in the cave for at least 3 months before shipping.
