History
In 1911, Georges Bollinger's British agent gave him the idea for the name Special Cuvée - special written the English way, without an accent. He thought 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 its expertise and its history.
Regional Information
The Bollinger vineyard covers 164 hectares, most of which are classified Grand or Premier cru. Pinot Noir predominates, a demanding grape variety with an intense character which forms the backbone of the Bollinger style.
