Bollinger Special Cuvée Brut, NV, Champagne, France
One of the few champagne houses to still use cask ageing, Bollinger makes a wonderfully rich and creamy champagne. Pale golden in colour with yeasty aromas on the nose. Very dry but with toasty flavours in the mouth. The final word goes to Madame Lily Bollinger - “I drink it when I’m happy and when I’m sad. Sometimes I drink it when I’m alone. When I have company I consider it obligatory. I trifle with it if I’m not hungry and drink it when I am. Otherwise I never touch it - unless I’m thirsty.” |
