The current release of Bollinger “Special Cuvée” non-vintage Brut is crafted from its customary blend of sixty percent pinot noir, twenty-five percent chardonnay and fifteen percent pinot meunier. The wine was finished with a dosage of between seven and eight grams per liter and offers up a refined bouquet of peach, apple, pâtissière, gentle smokiness, a lovely base of soil tones and just a hint of oak. On the palate the wine is crisp, full-bodied, focused and complex, with lovely depth at the core, good soil undertow, elegant mousse and a long, complex and very nicely balanced finish. This is a very good Brut NV.
