Food & Wine has developed a way to bring the essence of their beloved Food & Wine Classic event to consumers’ homes through virtual Holiday Edition tasting events on December 5.
Rather than emphasizing wintery reds, the publication’s longtime Wine Editor Ray Isle focuses on bubbles to enjoy all season long, including Champagne Bollinger Special Cuvée. He describes this non-vintage brut as gorgeous, and adds “Bollinger leans towards a richer style, full of toast and brioche notes; they’re one of my favorite Champagne houses. It’s really a Champagne that can be served straight through the meal; bring on the roast turkey, seriously.”

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.
