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.

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.

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\u003e25% chardonnay, 60% pinot, 15% meunier; more than 300 crus; more than 85% grand cru and premier cru; 15% fermented in old oak barrels; aged 3–4 years on lees; 8g\/L dosage; 90% of production, more than 2.5 million bottles\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReviews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The complexity and richness of Special Cuvée is unparalleled among the entry non-vintage blends of every champagne house, short of ascending to the mesosphere of Krug.

Laurent-Perrier’s style and personality are defined by its high proportion of Chardonnay. Purity, freshness and elegance – essential characteristics, expressed in this champagne – are a good introduction to the spirit of the House.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is very rare for a grand marque champagne house to change its house style, being its non vintage cuvée, but that is exactly what Laurent Perrier have done.
