Nebuchadnezzar - The biggest bottle of Bollinger Special Cuvee currently in production. With 15 litres of this rich, biscuity Champagne with a hint of summer fruits. On the palate, full flavours of nuts and toast and some citrus characters abound, balanced by excellent acidity. The Special Cuv�e is the purest expression of Bollinger's style. !!<Grape Variety: >!!60% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay, 15% Pinot Meunier. !!<Background: >!!Bollinger uses only the �cuv�e� juice in the making of Special Cuv�e. Depending on vintage, 100% of Grand Cru's and part of the Premier Cru's are barrel fermented. Bollinger uses small stainless steel tanks to conduct the fermentation of the other cru's. Special Cuv�e is a blend of wines coming from the most recent harvest, and also wines from previous harvests, including reserve wines held in magnum. After second fermentation, Special Cuv�e then ages in cellars for at least 3 years. After riddling and disgorging Special Cuv�e then rests in cellars for a minimum of 3 months prior to shipment. Nebuchadnezzar - 15 ltr bottle. Presented in a Bollinger branded solid red wood box. |
