Bollinger
The story began with Athanase de Villermont the youngest son of a noble family with a brilliant destiny. A great soldier who shone during the American War of Independence he inherited an extensive estate from his family in the Aÿ area. He immediately foresaw the extraordinary potential of the wines of Champagne but as an aristocrat he was forbidden to become involved in trade. He then met Joseph Bollinger a widely travelled German who had left his country of birth to learn about the Champagne wine trade and Paul Renaudin a local man who was fascinated by the world of wine. The firm of Renaudin-Bollinger & Cie was founded on 6th February 1829. Joseph took care of sales and Paul of the cellar. Athanase had founded a champagne House that was to endure through the centuries.
Description
Bollinger Special Cuvée NV displays a golden color with very fine bubbles, indicative of its predominantly Pinot Noir blend. The nose is complex, offering aromas of roasted apples, apple compote, and peaches. On the palate, it combines structure, length, and vivacity with flavors of pear, brioche, and fresh walnut. The finish is crisp and elegant, characterized by a vibrant acidity and a delicate mousse.
Food Pairing
This versatile Champagne pairs well with a variety of dishes, including shellfish, crab, lobster, and other seafood. It also complements rich dishes like foie gras, as well as creamy pastas and white meats.
