In 1829, Athanase de Villermont’s vast estate just outside the town of Äy provided the backdrop for the founding of an extraordinary Champagne house - but as an aristocrat, Athanese was forbidden from engaging in commercial trade. With the recruitment of Joseph “Jacques” Bollinger, a Champagne merchant, and Paul Renaudin, a Champernois fascinated by the world of wine, the Bollinger legacy began.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Bollinger style is inimitable and recognised as such by great connoisseurs. It possesses a dense and subtle presence: a balance of the intensity of great Pinot Noirs and the freshness of Chardonnays from the Côte des Blancs. The house’s offerings are rooted in 5 tangible principles: the vineyards; Pinot Noir; magnums of reserve wines; the barrels, and time. Bollinger wines release a creamy effervescence resulting from vinifying in oak barrels and prolonged contact with the yeasts. Every tasting yields new delights that are guaranteed to transport you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Vineyard:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBollinger has built its vineyards at the heart of the finest crus in Champagne. 180 hectares of vines are made up of 85% Grand and Premier crus and are farmed by our teams of growers across 7 separate vineyards: Aÿ, Avenay, Tauxières, Louvois and Verzenay for Pinot Noir; the Montagne de Reims, Cuis for Chardonnay; and the Côte des Blancs and Champvoisy for Meunier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother of Bollinger’s distinctive features are the two plots of Clos Saint-Jacques and Chaudes Terres. There, ungrafted vines are entirely tended by hand and reproduced using a form of layering called provignage, preserving the extraordinary heritage from which the Vieilles Vignes Françaises cuvée is produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePinot Noir is the varietal on which Bollinger has staked its reputation. A demanding grape that requires care at every step, it remains front and centre because of the incomparable finesse it brings to a wine. Today, the Pinot Noir planted around the Montagne de Reims represents over 60% of the Bollinger vineyards. This also just happens to be the exact proportion it occupies in Special Cuvée! Multi-faceted and surprising, its unusually high ratio in the blends is a signature of the Bollinger style, to which it lends power, body and vinosity. It has been one of the founding principles of Champagne Bollinger’s identity from the very beginning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBollinger is guided by a responsibility anchored in time and a commitment to people, the earth and our roots.

This is a wine made for those who truly appreciate both the art of winemaking and the beauty of life itself. The Provence region offers the ideal growing conditions for the Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault grapes, which are the classic blend used to create AIX Rosé. With mineral-rich soils, 300 days of sun per year, and the cooling Mistral winds, these vineyards thrive in this picturesque setting. Maison Saint Aix is not only one of the largest domaines in the AOP Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence appellation, but it is also one of the highest, sitting 420m above sea level. This elevation provides cooler nights and a greater Mistral effect, which helps dry the vines on dewy mornings, resulting in even better fruit. Over the past decade, the estate has undergone a complete transformation, with state-of-the-art equipment and modern winemaking techniques. From temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to pneumatic presses and next-generation harvesting machinery, every step is taken to ensure the production of the highest quality rosé that only Provence can offer. The domaine's 50-60 year old Grenache vines guarantee the highest quality juice, while the fruit from the younger vines brings a refreshing element to the blend. To maintain the harmony of the land, a busy replanting schedule is in place, replacing up to 4 hectares of vines each year with new ones. In early September, the vineyards come alive with a whirlwind of activity from the break of dawn until noon. This dedicated effort guarantees the grapes' utmost freshness, the preservation of their delicate aromas and minimizes the risk of oxidation. It is through this meticulous process that AIX acquires its distinctive colour, delicate aromas, gentle acidity and impressive length. The symbol of the vines reaching towards the sky beautifully captures the enchantment of the land and the camaraderie of those who cherish it.

With mineral rich soils, 300 days of sun a year and the cooling Mistral winds, the Provence offers the ideal growing conditions for Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault grapes, the classic blend used to make AIX Rosé. Maison Saint Aix is one of the largest domaines in the AOP Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence appellation. At 420m above sea level, it's also one of the highest. And thanks to that elevation, the vineyard benefits from enjoy cooler nights and a greater Mistral wind effect, drying the vines on dewy mornings - making the fruit even better.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"redactor\"\u003eOver the last 10 years, AIX has completely overhauled the estate from vines to cellar. Thanks to our state-of-the-art-equipment - from temperature controlled stainless steel tanks to pneumatic presses to the next generation harvesting machinery - we can truly produce the quality of rosé that only the Provence can offer. The domaine’s 50-60 year old Grenache vines ensure highest quality ‘jus’, while the fruit from the younger vines brings freshness. To maintain the harmony of the land, we run a busy replanting schedule - replacing up 4 hectares a year with new vines. In early-September, the vineyards are a frenzy of activity from very early morning to noon. Why? To ensure optimal freshness of the grapes, the conservation of the most delicate aromas and a reduced risk of oxidation. This is how we achieve AIX’s recognisable pale colour, delicate aromas, gentle acidity and great length.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"redactor\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"redactor\"\u003eA blend of 60% Grenache, 20% Cinsault and 20% Syrah, this comes from Maison Saint Aix, owned and run by the Kurver family, whose 75 hectares are planted at an altitude of 400-420 metres.

Prior to this endeavour, Keith's extensive credentials in Agricultural Science and Wine Marketing, earned through his studies at Roseworthy College, set the stage for his pursuit of excellence in winemaking. During his years of preparation, Keith diligently explored the region, seeking guidance from local winemakers and viticulturalists who pointed him in the direction of the Barossa's red\/brown soil over limestone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArmed with this invaluable knowledge, he strategically located the finest parcels of land using an old soil map from the 1950s. This quest led them to a picturesque mixed farming property nestled among the rolling hills along the banks of Greenock Creek in the western region of the Barossa. Here, they discovered a remarkable diversity of soil types, varying aspects, and altitudes, forming the foundation for their winemaking pursuit. In 2004, Hentley Farm expanded its estate with the acquisition of a neighbouring vineyard that shared the coveted natural amphitheatre of rolling hills surrounding the property. This addition further enhanced the diversity of the site, solidifying Hentley Farm's position as a single estate spanning 150 acres of pure vinous potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeith's background as an agricultural scientist played a crucial role in the meticulous exploration and understanding of the land before the planting process could commence at Hentley Farm. With a keen eye for detail, he delved into the unique characteristics of the site, discovering the intriguing influence of altitude differentials and variations in the east-west aspect, which resulted in unexpected microclimates. Collaborating with local viticulturalists, Keith embarked on an extensive endeavour to explore the diverse soils present on the property, employing the excavation of forty soil pits throughout the site. The extraordinary diversity of soil, aspect, and altitude presented both an opportunity and a challenge that demanded careful planning and precision in the vineyard layout. Factors such as varietal selection, clone selection, row spacing, orientation, trellising methods, and water management were meticulously considered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a result, Keith and his team devised the concept of \"viticultural blocks,\" dividing the single vineyard into nine distinct blocks based on similarities in soil type, aspect, and climate. Each block was further subdivided into rows to account for variations in soil, aspect, and microclimates. The vineyards were planted with a selection of grape varieties, with Shiraz comprising 70% of the plantings, followed by Grenache (17%), Cabernet Sauvignon (10%), Zinfandel (2%), and a small parcel of Viognier (0.5%). In 2002, the first wines from the property were released, showcasing the exceptional results of Keith's meticulous planning and the team's dedication to crafting wines of distinct character and quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith his tenure beginning in 2008, Head Winemaker Andrew Quin has played a pivotal role in shaping the trajectory of the vineyard, dedicating himself to the creation of contemporary wines that embody the essence of traditional Barossa varieties. Andrew's unwavering commitment to innovation and excellence has left an indelible mark on the vineyard's evolution, ensuring that each bottle reflects the harmonious marriage of time-honoured grape varieties with a contemporary winemaking approach. With a keen focus on showcasing varietal diversity, the wines of Hentley Farm captivate with their allure and accessibility in their youth, while possessing the depth and structure necessary for extended cellaring. Andrew's dedicated stewardship has firmly established Hentley Farm as a prominent boutique winery in Australia, garnering acclaim from around the world, including the prestigious title of 2015 James Halliday Winery of the Year.

Since 1994, they have remained committed to creating exceptional Rhone-style red and white wines that reflect the very best vineyards in Australia's famous Barossa region. Provenance is everything to them, and they believe that the Barossa is the most exciting place to make wine in the world. With a European sense of tradition, Torbreck pays tribute to the vineyards with minimal intervention, creating wines of richness, structure and length that age gracefully. The multi-generational growers, whose descendants arrived here nearly two centuries ago, are the backbone of Torbreck's winemaking aspirations. They work in partnership with the people of the Barossa who grow their fruit, always aiming to get the very best out of their vineyard sites. At Torbreck, they constantly seek to understand the difference between all of these special places in the Barossa and how this combination of soil, climate and farming experience is reflected in unique grape flavors. They are simply custodians, enhancing the innate expressiveness of the wines and enabling them to reveal over time their individual origins and personality. Torbreck is actually named after the forest near Inverness, Scotland where the winery's founder, David Powell worked as a lumberjack after completing university studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe winemaking style at Torbreck is meticulous and dedicated to producing exceptional wines. They use carefully selected 225-litre oak barriques for maturation, known as Dominique Laurent 'Magic Casks'. The oak is personally harvested from Forêt de Tronçais in Allier, and the staves are aged for 48 to 54 months at an exposed location for maximum seasoning. The staves are then hand-made into barrels and heated over three differing flames for several hours, resulting in a gentle toast due to the remarkable density of the wood. Torbreck's winemaking style reflects their commitment to producing exceptional wines that reflect the unique terroir of the Barossa region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-a6dfc828-0 jJxHux\" data-testid=\"youchat-text\"\u003eIn the heart of the Barossa Valley, Semillon has found its natural home. With a history that dates back over 160 years, this white grape variety was among the first to be planted by the early settlers. The Mediterranean climate, coupled with meticulous farming practices, has fostered a legacy of old, low-yielding Semillon vineyards, creating a unique and cherished heritage. To craft Torbreck Woodcutter's Semillon, the winemakers employ an age-old, robust, pink-skinned Madeira clone, predominantly found in the Barossa region. This particular clone adds a special touch to the wine, lending it characteristics reminiscent of the savoury, food-friendly white wines found in the central and southern regions of France. To further enhance its complexity and depth, the Woodcutter's Semillon undergoes maturation in both stainless steel tanks and seasoned French barriques. This careful aging process allows the wine to develop its distinct personality while maintaining its vibrant and fresh character. Unlike a typical lemony Semillon, Woodcutter's Semillon surprises with a more intricate aromatic profile. Its bouquet unfolds with enticing notes of smoked almonds, adding a subtle hint of nuttiness. The delicate scent of honeysuckle dances alongside, infusing the wine with floral nuances that captivate the senses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-a6dfc828-0 jJxHux\" data-testid=\"youchat-text\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-121dfd46-1 ycJAk\" data-pinnedconversationturnid=\"e07cdfb1-a9ef-483b-87a5-561b06bd3598\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-121dfd46-2 extNaj\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-e796aa8b-0 bzuTdn\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-121dfd46-4 gYBrzX\" data-testid=\"youchat-answer-turn-21\" data-pinnedconversationturnid=\"e07cdfb1-a9ef-483b-87a5-561b06bd3598\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-e796aa8b-1 ipkAIZ\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTorbreck Woodcutters Shiraz represents a captivating expression of the up and coming Shiraz vineyards in the esteemed Barossa region. While it diverges from the battle-hardened old vines that define their other cuvées, it exemplifies their unwavering commitment to exceptional viticulture and winemaking practices. Meticulous care is at the heart of crafting Woodcutters Shiraz. The fruit is sourced from hand-harvested and hand-tended, low-yielding vines, ensuring that only the finest grapes contribute to this remarkable wine. The result is a testament to the dedication of their viticultural team, who work tirelessly to nurture the vines and coax out their full potential. From the moment of harvest, Woodcutters Shiraz undergoes a meticulous winemaking process. The grapes are open fermented, allowing for gentle extraction of their rich flavors and aromas. Following fermentation, the wine is gently basket pressed, ensuring a careful extraction of the juice while preserving its purity and character. For 12 months, Woodcutters Shiraz is aged on fine lees in large format seasoned barrels and foudres. This extended aging period allows the wine to develop complexity and depth, while the use of seasoned barrels ensures a subtle integration of oak flavors. The result is a wine that seamlessly combines the vibrant fruit character of the Barossa with nuances of oak, showcasing the balance and finesse that are hallmarks of Torbreck wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Torbreck Woodcutters Shiraz showcases the vibrancy and potential of the up and coming Shiraz vineyards in the Barossa. While it may differ from the esteemed old vine cuvées, this wine still receives the utmost care and attention in both viticulture and winemaking. Upon pouring, the wine reveals a captivating bouquet of lifted red, black and blue fruits. The aromas of red cherry, raspberry coulis, blueberry conserve, wild blackberry and blackcurrant intertwine creating a symphony of enticing scents. A delightful spicy edge emerges, with hints of cardamom, star anise and Chinese five spice adding complexity to the aromatic profile. On the palate, the wine exhibits soft, caressing tannins and a voluptuous mouthfeel. This can be attributed to the plump Shiraz berries, which lend a velvety texture to the wine. Despite its approachable nature, this Shiraz maintains a poised structure, defying expectations with its depth and pedigree. The fruit's poise and piquancy harmoniously rest upon the structured mouthfeel, promising an exceptional aging potential of 5-10 years. To fully appreciate its nuances, it is recommended to serve Torbreck Woodcutters Shiraz at a temperature of 16°C. Its versatility shines through, making it a wonderful companion to a wide range of cuisines.

This exceptional blend is sourced from Grenache, Mataro and Shiraz vines that miraculously survived the devastating phylloxera outbreak in the 1880s. These vines, which also withstood the vine-pull scheme in the 1980s, have been carefully nurtured back to life, resulting in the creation of this remarkable wine. The story of Torbreck is intertwined with the protection of the old vine resource in the Barossa Valley. The serendipitous discovery of small remnants of ancient vines, some over a century old, has been a pivotal moment in preserving the region's historic cultivars. The Steading, more than any other wine, serves as a testament to the possibilities that arise from these treasured vineyards. The uniqueness of The Steading lies in its composition, derived from 45 different sources of fruit. Some grapes come from Torbreck's own vineyard estates, while others are obtained through partnerships with growers on a share-farming basis. Each parcel of grapes is vinified separately, allowing their individual characteristics to shine.

The Celts, known for their deep connection to nature and their agricultural practices, have left an indelible mark on the regions they inhabited. Torbreck, in recognizing this influence, adopts the name The Steading for this particular wine, evoking a sense of the past and the rustic charm associated with a traditional farmstead. Just as a farmstead brings together different structures to create a harmonious whole, The Steading blends together the finest grapes sourced from various vineyards.

As of 2021, an impressive 75% of its supplies proudly hold the VDC certification.

A glowing, medium straw hue is a dazzling prelude to its scintillating purity and drive, cut with magnificent acid line and high-tensile chalk structure. The distinguished, north-east facing slopes of Verzy and Verzenay take a delightfully fragrant and pure lead, presenting white cherry and strawberry hull that ring out in clear peals like church bells. Age has done nothing to evolve its pitch-perfect high notes, lending just the most subtle nuance of fresh almond. A cuvée to age for another 20 years at least – and it will live effortlessly for 50. In sheer, breathtaking purity, monumental chalk minerality, endless longevity – not to mention ludicrous affordability – Extra Brut 2008 is one of the champagne buys of the decade. - \u003cstrong\u003eTyson Stelzer, 2021 Champagne Guide, 97 Points.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Finer Details\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eStyle - Champagne\u003cbr\u003eVarietal - Pinot Noir 65%, Chardonnay 35%\u003cbr\u003eCountry - France\u003cbr\u003eRegion - Champagne\u003cbr\u003eVintage - 2008\u003cbr\u003eBottle Size - 1.5L\u003cbr\u003eABV - 12%\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Billecart-Salmon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39269948883031,"sku":"BSV081.5L","price":479.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/products\/Billecart-Salmon-Brut-Vintage-2008-1.5L.png?v=1620293630"},{"product_id":"taittinger-brut-reserve-champagne-nv-1-5l","title":"Taittinger Brut Réserve Champagne NV 1.5L","description":"\u003cp class=\"sc-a6dfc828-0 jJxHux\" data-testid=\"youchat-text\"\u003eWhen it comes to the world of champagne, Taittinger is a name that resonates with elegance, prestige and a rich heritage.  Founded in 1734 by Jacques Fourneaux, Taittinger has remained a family-owned champagne house, passing down the art of champagne-making from one generation to the next. This commitment to tradition, combined with a spirit of innovation, has allowed Taittinger to create champagnes that embody the essence of luxury and sophistication. At the heart of Taittinger's success lies its meticulously cultivated vineyards. Spanning over 290 hectares, these vineyards are located in some of the finest terroirs of Champagne, including the renowned Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims. The unique combination of soil, climate and grape varieties results in grapes of exceptional quality, which form the foundation of Taittinger's exquisite champagnes. One of Taittinger's most celebrated champagnes is the Taittinger Brut Réserve. Crafted with a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, this champagne captivates the senses with its delicate bubbles, golden hue and a symphony of aromas ranging from fresh fruits to brioche. With its balanced and refined taste, the Taittinger Brut Réserve is a testament to the house's commitment to creating champagnes of exceptional quality.

This exceptional champagne is crafted from a blend of Chardonnay (40%), Pinot Noir (35%) and Pinot Meunier (25%) wines, sourced from over 35 different vintages and vineyards that have matured to perfection. What sets Taittinger Brut Réserve apart is its unique composition, with a higher proportion of Chardonnay compared to other non-vintage champagnes. This delicate balance, combined with a minimum ageing of three years in the cellars, allows the champagne to reach its peak of aromatic maturity, resulting in a champagne of consistently excellent quality. The brilliant body of Taittinger Brut Réserve shines with a radiant golden yellow hue. The fine bubbles gracefully dance in the glass, while the discreet yet lingering foam adds to the champagne's allure. On the nose, the champagne unfolds with an open and expressive bouquet, delivering a harmonious blend of fruit and brioche aromas. Notes of peach, white flowers like hawthorn and acacia and a hint of vanilla pod add layers of complexity and fragrance. As the champagne meets the palate, it reveals a lively and fresh entry that is in perfect harmony. This delicate wine envelops the taste buds with flavors of fresh fruit and honey, offering a delightful and nuanced experience. Taittinger Brut Réserve continues to evolve and develop its aromatic potential during the three to four years of ageing in the cellar.

Since 1994, they have remained committed to creating exceptional Rhone-style red and white wines that reflect the very best vineyards in Australia's famous Barossa region. Provenance is everything to them, and they believe that the Barossa is the most exciting place to make wine in the world. With a European sense of tradition, Torbreck pays tribute to the vineyards with minimal intervention, creating wines of richness, structure and length that age gracefully. The multi-generational growers, whose descendants arrived here nearly two centuries ago, are the backbone of Torbreck's winemaking aspirations. They work in partnership with the people of the Barossa who grow their fruit, always aiming to get the very best out of their vineyard sites. At Torbreck, they constantly seek to understand the difference between all of these special places in the Barossa and how this combination of soil, climate and farming experience is reflected in unique grape flavors. They are simply custodians, enhancing the innate expressiveness of the wines and enabling them to reveal over time their individual origins and personality.

They use carefully selected 225-litre oak barriques for maturation, known as Dominique Laurent 'Magic Casks'. The oak is personally harvested from Forêt de Tronçais in Allier, and the staves are aged for 48 to 54 months at an exposed location for maximum seasoning. The staves are then hand-made into barrels and heated over three differing flames for several hours, resulting in a gentle toast due to the remarkable density of the wood.

Provenance is everything to them, and they believe that the Barossa is the most exciting place to make wine in the world. With a European sense of tradition, Torbreck pays tribute to the vineyards with minimal intervention, creating wines of richness, structure and length that age gracefully. The multi-generational growers, whose descendants arrived here nearly two centuries ago, are the backbone of Torbreck's winemaking aspirations. They work in partnership with the people of the Barossa who grow their fruit, always aiming to get the very best out of their vineyard sites. At Torbreck, they constantly seek to understand the difference between all of these special places in the Barossa and how this combination of soil, climate and farming experience is reflected in unique grape flavors.

The staves are then hand-made into barrels and heated over three differing flames for several hours, resulting in a gentle toast due to the remarkable density of the wood.

The rosé’s real calling card is the addition of red wine: though it comprises only 5 to 6% of the blend, it enhances the overall power and complexity of the final product, offering a captivating experience. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the ultimate appreciation of its unique style, bouquet and aromas, Bollinger Rosé is best served between 8 and 10°C. This temperature range allows the champagne to unveil its true character - something you won’t want to miss. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Maker:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eFor almost two hundred years, Champagne Bollinger has been making powerful, refined and complex wines that express the aromas of fruit in all its dimensions. In 1829, Athanase de Villermont’s vast estate just outside the town of Äy provided the backdrop for the founding of an extraordinary Champagne house - but as an aristocrat, Athanese was forbidden from engaging in commercial trade. With the recruitment of Joseph “Jacques” Bollinger, a Champagne \u003cstrong\u003emerchant,\u003c\/strong\u003e and Paul Renaudin, a Champernois fascinated by the world of wine, the Bollinger legacy began.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bollinger style is inimitable and recognised as such by great connoisseurs. It possesses a dense and subtle presence: a balance of the intensity of great Pinot Noirs and the freshness of Chardonnays from the Côte des Blancs. The house’s offerings are rooted in 5 tangible principles: the vineyards; Pinot Noir; magnums of reserve wines; the barrels, and time. Bollinger wines release a creamy effervescence resulting from vinifying in oak barrels and prolonged contact with the yeasts. Every tasting yields new delights that are guaranteed to transport you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Vineyard\/Distiller\/Philosophy:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBollinger has built its vineyards at the heart of the finest crus in Champagne. 180 hectares of vines are made up of 85% Grand and Premier crus and are farmed by our teams of growers across 7 separate vineyards: Aÿ, Avenay, Tauxières, Louvois and Verzenay for Pinot Noir; the Montagne de Reims, Cuis for Chardonnay; and the Côte des Blancs and Champvoisy for Meunier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother of Bollinger’s distinctive features are the two plots of Clos Saint-Jacques and Chaudes Terres. There, ungrafted vines are entirely tended by hand and reproduced using a form of layering called provignage, preserving the extraordinary heritage from which the Vieilles Vignes Françaises cuvée is produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePinot Noir is the varietal on which Bollinger has staked its reputation. A demanding grape that requires care at every step, it remains front and centre because of the incomparable finesse it brings to a wine. Today, the Pinot Noir planted around the Montagne de Reims represents over 60% of the Bollinger vineyards. This also just happens to be the exact proportion it occupies in Special Cuvée! Multi-faceted and surprising, its unusually high ratio in the blends is a signature of the Bollinger style, to which it lends power, body and vinosity. It has been one of the founding principles of Champagne Bollinger’s identity from the very beginning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBollinger is guided by a responsibility anchored in time and a commitment to people, the earth and our roots. It is committed to the well-being of its teams, preserving biodiversity, and reducing the brand’s carbon footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eNOSE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmbrosial, jammy, piquant\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eHints of red currant, cherry and wild strawberry; a spicy touch, not unlike Special Cuvée.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePALATE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConcentrated, vivacious, structured\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eSubtle, with bubbles as fine as velvet; deepening flavours of wild berries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFINISH\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLengthy, bright, acidic\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eEnding on a sustained tannic note that’s fresh and bright.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eReviews + Accolades: \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e“A graceful rosé Champagne, giving an overall impression of delicacy and finesse that belies the chiseled acidity, minerally underpinning and integrated flavours of raspberry and white peach fruit, toast point, slivered almond, candied pink grapefruit peel and pickled ginger.
