Bollinger Brut Special Cuvée 75cl. - Case
In 1911, Georges Bollinger's British agent gave him the idea of the name "Special Cuvée", written in the English style, without an accent. He thought that 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 his experience and his history.
Bollinger Brut Special Cuvée is the representation of the Bollinger style: depth and subtlety.
