History
In 1911, Georges Bollinger's British agent gave him the idea for the name Special Cuvée - “special” written the English way, without an accent. He thought the French expression “Brut sans année” was no match for such a subtle champagne... More than a hundred years later, the name of Bollinger's key figure champagne still symbolizes both its expertise and its history.
Regional Information
The Bollinger vineyard covers 164 hectares, most of which are classified Grand or Premier cru. Pinot Noir predominates, a demanding grape variety with an intense character which forms the backbone of the Bollinger style.

Tastes like a cheap Chardonnay

I normally drink Laurent Perrier Rosé or Champagne Laurent-Perrier la Cuvée. I unfortunately bought this on offer and purchased 6 bottles but cannot bring myself to drink them. It was too rich, yellow and not bubbly. I dont expect that from a champagne. There were no fine bubbles or light and crisp taste. A bottle of Louis Roederer or Veuve Cliquot (which says something)would of been preferred. It is very overpowering and left me turning my noise up and trying to disguise my displeasure on the first sip.

Always good always a reliable taste

Unusual compared with many champagnes. If you like holly try Louis rodderer or Laurent Perrier. Rick stein also does a good blanc d blanc which is a fair imitation Bolly is expensive and worth it. I bulk buy when on offer either here or Waitrose.

Misleading ProMotion

Unfortunately Ocado has let me down with an unacceptable explanation and solution. I ordered 8 bottles of Bollinger at £56 each less 25%. This should have rendered each bottle at £42 still expensive but at least less than £56 each! The promotion says a limit of 18 bottles per customer. it does not state in. Multiples of 6 i.e. 6/12/18. I ordered 8 and was charged 6 @ £42 and 2 @ £56! It doesnt end there the receipt states 8 @ £45.50??? Misleading or what it should state 6 @ £42 and 2 @ £56. I was contacted by an agent who has said he will arrange collection of the 2 bottles!!! Really the inconvenience, the misleading representation - I am expecting a refund of £112 who would pay that much for fizz anyway!! I will wait and see ? Added to which Ocado have given me a 3 hour slot and no confirmation. Shame as so far Ocado has been outstanding with quality and service!

There are better champagnes for the price

Bollinger is a reliably well rounded champagne. However, for the price there are much better alternatives out there.

False advertising

Not in the 007 box as advertised - of course the champagne is delicious but overpriced and false advertising
