Champagne Bollinger Special-Cuvee Brut NV
“Bollinger’s NV Special Cuvée knocks it out of the park.” -- Jeb Dunnuck. AGREED! We have a great price today on Bollinger’s newest disgorgement, and with the holidays approaching (I know, I know, sorry!), we’ve GOT to be ready. I got my 6-pack!!
Dating back to the time Andrew Jackson was President (1829), Bollinger has firmly established itself as one of the great houses, and ALWAYS has a rock-solid, satisfying, hugely over-achieving NV Cuvee. This is one of my "go-to" Champagnes that always delivers toasty, textured, rich bubbles time after time. Full-bodied, but crackling with acidity and almondy/yeasty/creme brulee goodness, with that signature kiss of oak from the barrel aging. It is taken to the next level with Bollinger’s amazing stash of reserve wine which makes up 60% of the blend. You CANNOT go wrong, unless we sell out before you get any!
PAIRING IDEAS: You know what sounds good? A brown butter ravioli. Make this as complex as you like! You could even just get some good fresh ravioli (we like the large size), and make a wonderful brown butter sauce.
MUSIC SUGGESTIONS: Try some California Honeydrops -- funky, soulful Bay Area blues. Available on all your music services!
