New York Magazine’s popular culinary site, GrubStreet, published a new story “25 Places to Grab a Warming Seasonal Drink This Winter,” to inspire festive eating and drinking all season long. The piece highlights the Champagne Bollinger Bar at Bryant Park’s Winter Village in a roundup of bars to visit this holiday season. Writer Vanita Salisbury adds that this year “The Lodge” at Bryant Park added “a Bollinger Champagne bar, serving up a little of France in the middle of New York with the house’s special cuvée, its non-vintage Bollinger Rosé, and prestige cuvée Bollinger R.D. 2004.” Read the full story 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.
