The emblematic cuvée of Bollinger’s expertise.
A very special cuvée
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.
