Champagne AOC Brut Special Cuvée 007 Bollinger

The 007 Special Cuvée is a Champagne produced by the maison Bollinger in the Aÿ region, crafted from a blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Meunier, mostly sourced from Grand and Premier Cru vineyards. This Champagne embodies the maison's distinctive style, characterized by balance, richness, and consistent quality, thanks to the extensive use of carefully selected reserve wines.

The winemaking process involves blending a portion of wines from the current vintage with a majority of reserve wines, some of which have been aged in Magnum bottles for several years, adding complexity. The maturation period exceeds the requirements of the appellation, with extended lees aging providing depth and structure. The Brut dosage maintains freshness and balance.

In the glass, it displays a brilliant golden color and a fine, persistent perlage. The bouquet is rich and complex, with notes of ripe fruit, baked apple, and peach, enhanced by spicy hints. On the palate, it offers a harmonious combination of structure and liveliness, with a creamy texture and flavors reminiscent of pear, brioche, and subtle hints of dried fruit.

It pairs perfectly with seafood dishes, shellfish, sushi, white meats, and aged cheeses.
