In the event that you want to enjoy a glass or two of beautiful Champagne, but don’t want a full size bottle, Wine Enthusiast compiled a list of their reviewers favorite high-scoring half bottles, including Champagne Bollinger Special Cuvée.
Champagne reviewer Roger Voss says, “dominated, as always, by Pinot Noir and with wood fermentation and aging, this Champagne has a great poise between freshness and richness. It is intense and ripe, with apple and minerality coming together.”
While we rarely find ourselves unable to finish a full bottle of Bollinger, you can read the rest of the write up and other half bottle recommendations HERE.

A journey of devotion, Special Cuvée’s powerful impact and elegant depth of flavor capture Bollinger’s distinct spirit. 30% ferments in neutral barrel for a silky texture while the reserve wines (hand-riddled and blended from magnum) contribute the signature aromas of an aged Champagne. Special Cuvée is layered with freshness, savor and spice, all in a velvety texture that truly stands apart.

Champagne, France
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.
