Best Products has compiled a round up of 11 stellar sparking wines and Champagne to pop open this holiday season. As if we need any excuse, the writer notes that Champagne is “a classic, crowd-pleasing, and food-friendly beverage choice perfect for virtually any special occasion.” Champagne Bollinger Special Cuvée is among the wines featured, and described as “slightly spicier and more robust than other Champagne varieties, this bubbly has a rich golden hue, which is distinctive of black grape varieties.” The piece also explains that while Bollinger is perfect on its own, it is a complete star when paired with foods, such as “spicy charcuterie, meatier appetizers, and sharp cheese.” Read more about the Bollinger write up and other recommendations HERE

Special Cuvée is a Champagne that defies category. Pinot Noir, the most demanding grape in the region, makes up at least 60 percent of the blend, giving structure, depth and signature red fruit. One-third is fermented in oak barrels, adding silkier texture and layered flavor. Reserve wines aged in magnums under cork for up to 15 years are hand disgorged into the blend, bringing richness and complexity. Aged much longer than most Champagnes, Special Cuvée offers freshness, savory nuance and velvety texture. It is a true expression of Bollinger’s devotion at every step.

Bollinger is one of the rare Grande Marques that’s still family owned. Known for its rich, elegant and polished style of Champagne, their outstanding wines are the result of rigorous attention to detail and incredibly labor-intensive practices that few houses are willing to undertake. Underscoring its excellence, Bollinger has remained British secret agent James Bond's Champagne of choice since 1973.
