{"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\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.

Every step of the wine making process at the house is artful, right down to the precision of the dosage which is unique for every disgorgement conducted in batches. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan mce-data-marked=\"1\"\u003eFood pairing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFriends, lots of friends!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}

Philipponnat is a house of outstanding quality from their entry level Royale Reserve Brut all the way through to their iconic Clos des Goisses vintages.

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"}

Only the best sites are used for the André Jacquart label.

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.

The dill brings out those herbaceous notes in the wine and the taught acidity and mineral drive was just superb with the luscious buttermilk and raw fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a Blanc de Blancs with all the fruit being sourced from the Grand Cru village of Les Mesnil Sur Oger. According to winemaker Marie Doyard who visited the Emperor HQ in October 2017, confirms there is approximately 60-70% Les Chetillons in this Cuveé which is one of the most prized vineyards in this village.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vines are an average of 70 years of age, which adds immediate depth of flavour and character. Combine this with the base wine coming from the excellent 2008 vintage as well as 20% reserve wines, a minimum of 5 years aged on lees, 100% fermentation in Burgundy barrels, no malo-lactic fermentation and Zero dosage and the result is something quite magnificent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExpect a whirlwind of complexity and tension with notes of pear, lemon peel, a minty-herbal element and ever-present minerality coming through on the palate. The wine benefits from being open for a few hours to allow some oxygen through it. If you can, save half a bottle or so and see how different it is after a few hours. The aromatics opened up and the wine tasted even better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the house\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChampagne André Jacquart was established in 1958 but essentially reborn in 2004 with the arrival of the fifth generation of the family to take the reins. The original champagnes made by André Jacquart built a reputation for outstanding value but today with granddaughter Marie Doyard at the helm, the philosophy is to produce the best possible wines from their suite of well-sited family vineyards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe family’s holdings total 24 hectares predominantly, across 200 different parcels, in Le Mesnil sur Oger Grand Cru with the balance in Vertus Premier Cru. Only the best sites are used for the André Jacquart label. In the cellar a high proportion of used barrels from Burgundy are combined with very long lees aging to produce an outstanding effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe versatile range of André Jacquart champagnes represents some of the finest from the Côte de Blancs today.

An example would be, working the soil and allowing grass to grow between the vines. The wines are aged on lees and clarified by natural settling without filtration or fining. Producer Jerome Dehours is a member of the 'Les Artisans du Champagne', which brings together high quality, mostly single estate champagne producers for an annual tasting. Dehours is one of Champagne’s most exciting estates making stylish and expertly crafted wines with a careful approach and excellent quality. We believe there is real creativity and attention to detail in his winemaking for him to develop the complexity from the blending of solera methods with the combined drive to show what Pinot Meunier and single vineyards in the Marne Valley can produce. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood suggestion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost of the foodies out there have heard of Iberico Ham from Spain.

An example would be, working the soil and allowing grass to grow between the vines. The wines are aged on lees and clarified by natural settling without filtration or fining. Producer Jerome Dehours is a member of the 'Les Artisans du Champagne', which brings together high quality, mostly single estate champagne producers for an annual tasting. Dehours is one of Champagne’s most exciting estates making stylish and expertly crafted wines with a careful approach and excellent quality. We believe there is real creativity and attention to detail in his winemaking for him to develop the complexity from the blending of solera methods with the combined drive to show what Pinot Meunier and single vineyards in the Marne Valley can produce. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood suggestion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost of the foodies out there have heard of Iberico Ham from Spain.
