{"id":4362068328557,"title":"Bollinger Special Cuvée","handle":"bollinger-special-cuvee","description":"\u003cp\u003eLet's just start by saying this is one of the best NV cuvees in the market due to the attention to detail and care taken in making this wine. The question that presents itself is why is the Cuvee so Special?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWell, according to the President of Bollinger Bernard Phillipon, he explained that the 5 pillars that make it so special are;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1. The vineyard, having fresh fruit to select from and keep consistency year on year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2. High proportion of pinot noir which is a part of the signature of this house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3. Use of oak barrels, all 3,500 of them which makes Bollinger the house with the most oak barrels in champagne (similar to Krug) and all ferments happen in oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4. About 50-60% reserve wines being used, and these have come from magnums. This is substantially important as most houses use barrels or stainless steel vates to store large amounts of reserve wine to blend into their wine. All magnums are listed, village by village. Think about that for a second... That's a lot of work and is uncommon in champagne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5. The last ingredient in making the Special Cuvée special is 'time'. 3 years on lees in barrel, magnum and bottle. The result is a mineral-driven, vinous style of champagne that yields richness in fruit from pinot and an underlying super fresh, citrus zing coming through. Does it get much better than this?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the house\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBollinger remain quite possibly one of the most famous family-owned champagne houses of all. Bollinger are well known for their dominance of the powerful and expressive pinot noir from Aÿ where they were founded, their use of magnums for production of all their wines and a traditional wine making style incorporating fermentation in oak barrels from which they have never deviated. They still have their own in-house cooper who makes and manages their stock of some 3,500 barrels! That equates to about 1 million bottles being fermented in barrel - that is the largest (along with Krug) of any other producer in the region. Currently Bollinger own some 164 hectares in some of the best sites across Champagne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe complexity and richness of Special Cuvée is unparalleled among the entry-level non vintage blends of every champagne house, short of ascending to the mesosphere of Krug. Its grand recipe explains why.

The question that presents itself is why is the Cuvee so Special?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWell, according to the President of Bollinger Bernard Phillipon, he explained that the 5 pillars that make it so special are;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1. The vineyard, having fresh fruit to select from and keep consistency year on year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2. High proportion of pinot noir which is a part of the signature of this house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3. Use of oak barrels, all 3,500 of them which makes Bollinger the house with the most oak barrels in champagne (similar to Krug) and all ferments happen in oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4. About 50-60% reserve wines being used, and these have come from magnums. This is substantially important as most houses use barrels or stainless steel vates to store large amounts of reserve wine to blend into their wine. All magnums are listed, village by village. Think about that for a second... That's a lot of work and is uncommon in champagne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5. The last ingredient in making the Special Cuvée special is 'time'. 3 years on lees in barrel, magnum and bottle. The result is a mineral-driven, vinous style of champagne that yields richness in fruit from pinot and an underlying super fresh, citrus zing coming through. Does it get much better than this?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the house\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBollinger remain quite possibly one of the most famous family-owned champagne houses of all. Bollinger are well known for their dominance of the powerful and expressive pinot noir from Aÿ where they were founded, their use of magnums for production of all their wines and a traditional wine making style incorporating fermentation in oak barrels from which they have never deviated. They still have their own in-house cooper who makes and manages their stock of some 3,500 barrels! That equates to about 1 million bottles being fermented in barrel - that is the largest (along with Krug) of any other producer in the region. Currently Bollinger own some 164 hectares in some of the best sites across Champagne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe complexity and richness of Special Cuvée is unparalleled among the entry-level non vintage blends of every champagne house, short of ascending to the mesosphere of Krug. Its grand recipe explains why. A blend of 60% pinot noir, 25% chardonnay and 15% meunier, it’s built on incredible depth of 50–60% reserves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurther intensity is derived from 30–40% of the blend in oak barrels, and a very high proportion of grand cru and premier cru fruit sources (more than 85%). Post-blending, the wine matures for between three and four years on lees in the cellar before it is disgorged and a light dosage of 8g\/L is added.

They are located in the small village of Urville in the Côte des Bar where Pinot Noir, the predominant grape variety, finds its purest expression and allows the production of very elegant, aromatic wines. With an annual production of some 1.5 million bottles, they are considerably larger than a small grower, but not quite of the size of the Grande Marques in and around Reims and Epernay. Drappier is one of the foremost producers in the region which is highly respected amongst its peers like Cédric Bouchard, Marie-Courtin, Vouette et Sorbée, and Jacques Lassaigne. They own 55 hectares of vineyards and use another 50 hectares under contract with other growers. A an interesting historical fact is that Charles de Gaulle (the Former Minister of the Armed Forces in France) was very fond of their Champagne and they named a cuvée after him. Amongst their range of excellent cuvée’s, they have a range including a ‘Sulfur free’, ‘Zero dosage’, and a ‘blanc de blancs’ that contains a forgotten grape called Blanc Vrai.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFood suggestion\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePerfect with grilled aniseed and lemon sea bass, risotto, sole à la plancha and traditional blanquette of veal.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2018-11-14T22:25:21+11:00","created_at":"2018-11-14T22:02:45+11:00","vendor":"Drappier","type":"Vintage","tags":["$100-200","Exclusive","Kyri's Selection","New Arrival","Organic","Region: Urville","Taste: Almond","Taste: Ginger","Taste: Malolactic Fermention","Taste: No Filtration","Taste: Organic","Taste: Pinot Noir Dominant","Taste: Stainless Steel Fermentation","Taste: Stone Fruit","Year: 2012"],"price":12499,"price_min":12499,"price_max":12499,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":13832146747501,"title":"Single","option1":"Single","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"DRAPPIER_2012","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":4269532217453,"product_id":1488102850669,"position":1,"created_at":"2018-11-14T22:12:27+11:00","updated_at":"2018-11-14T22:12:27+11:00","alt":null,"width":800,"height":800,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/CHAMPAGNE_DRAPPIER_MILLESIME_EXCEPTION_2012_EMPEROR_CHAMPAGNEjpg.jpg?v=1542193947","variant_ids":[13832146747501]},"available":true,"name":"Drappier Millésime Exception 2012 - Single","public_title":"Single","options":["Single"],"price":12499,"weight":1000,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":30,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":"","featured_media":{"alt":null,"id":1264785391725,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":800,"width":800,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/CHAMPAGNE_DRAPPIER_MILLESIME_EXCEPTION_2012_EMPEROR_CHAMPAGNEjpg.jpg?v=1569143042"}}}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/CHAMPAGNE_DRAPPIER_MILLESIME_EXCEPTION_2012_EMPEROR_CHAMPAGNEjpg.jpg?v=1542193947"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/CHAMPAGNE_DRAPPIER_MILLESIME_EXCEPTION_2012_EMPEROR_CHAMPAGNEjpg.jpg?v=1542193947","options":["Please select"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":1264785391725,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":800,"width":800,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/CHAMPAGNE_DRAPPIER_MILLESIME_EXCEPTION_2012_EMPEROR_CHAMPAGNEjpg.jpg?v=1569143042"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":800,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/CHAMPAGNE_DRAPPIER_MILLESIME_EXCEPTION_2012_EMPEROR_CHAMPAGNEjpg.jpg?v=1569143042","width":800}],"content":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA very complex, rich nose revealing hints of fresh ginger, stone fruit and almond.

They are located in the small village of Urville in the Côte des Bar where Pinot Noir, the predominant grape variety, finds its purest expression and allows the production of very elegant, aromatic wines. With an annual production of some 1.5 million bottles, they are considerably larger than a small grower, but not quite of the size of the Grande Marques in and around Reims and Epernay. Drappier is one of the foremost producers in the region which is highly respected amongst its peers like Cédric Bouchard, Marie-Courtin, Vouette et Sorbée, and Jacques Lassaigne. They own 55 hectares of vineyards and use another 50 hectares under contract with other growers. A an interesting historical fact is that Charles de Gaulle (the Former Minister of the Armed Forces in France) was very fond of their Champagne and they named a cuvée after him. Amongst their range of excellent cuvée’s, they have a range including a ‘Sulfur free’, ‘Zero dosage’, and a ‘blanc de blancs’ that contains a forgotten grape called Blanc Vrai.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFood suggestion\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePerfect with grilled aniseed and lemon sea bass, risotto, sole à la plancha and traditional blanquette of veal.\u003c\/p\u003e"}

Wine, in all of its many different forms and varieties, has been noted since ancient times for its uniquely versatile and charming set of properties and characteristics. More so than perhaps any other drink, wine captures the spirit, the way of life and the culture of the place which produces it. And there is perhaps no wine more complex and difficult to produce, or more inextricably bound to the climate and the conditions of the particular region from which it originates, than champagne.
The planting of vines and the production of wine has traditionally had a unique place at the heart of whole communities, signalling a sense of permanence and an attachment to a particular location, and in so doing becoming an enduring source of local pride. When you choose to buy a bottle of quality champagne, you are not simply purchasing a beverage for consumption, but accepting an invitation to go on a journey back into the far, sleepy wine-country from which the bottle originally came, complete with a subtle and intuitive, sensory experience of the weather, the landscape and the industry involved in its production.
Here at Emperor, we’re acutely aware of the fact that many people all across Australia share our passion for quality champagnes, and we’re also aware of the frustrating reality which faces far too many of our fellow enthusiasts, concerning just how difficult and expensive it can be to access new and innovative top-quality champagnes in the Australian market.
