Special Cuvée is the emblematic expression of the Bollinger house style - depth and subtlety. Crafted from a masterful blend of over 85% Grand and Premier Cru grapes (60% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay, and 15% Meunier), this cuvée is the result of multiple harvests and prized reserve wines. It encapsulates Bollinger's expertise in delivering Champagne with consistent style, quality, and character year after year. In the glass, expect a rich golden hue and a cascade of ultra-fine bubbles. On the nose, layers of ripe fruit, roasted apples, and delicate spice unfold into hints of peach and compote. On the palate, it's full-bodied yet refined - an elegant balance of structure and freshness, with creamy bubbles and notes of pear, brioche, and fresh walnut.

The nose, very open and expressive, delivers aromas of fruit and brioche. It also gives off the fragrance of peach, white flowers (hawthorn, acacia) and vanilla pod. The entry onto the palate is lively, fresh and in total harmony. This is a delicate wine with flavours of fresh fruit and honey.

Smooth, silky and fruit driven. Food match with game and meat.

Chard Farm's Mata-Au vineyards are located in the Lowburn and Parkburn areas of the Cromwell basin. The vineyards are planted on the terraces and alluvial schist based soils formed by the Mata-Au (Clutha) River (pronounced martar-o). The unique combination of site, soil and mild continental climate produces perfumed wines with elegant texture, structure and mineral length. It is made from the best blocks in our best vineyards in the Lowburn/Parkburn sub-region. Mata-Au showcases the succulent red fruits and silky tannins that are the hallmarks of this sub-region, delivered in our elegant, textural and length driven style. The bouquet becomes increasingly attractive as it shifts through ripe red berries, sweet floral tones, darker spicy notes and herby complexity. The fresh red fruits, spice, and later wild herb flavours hold a wonderfully harmonious shape and texture, nicely supported with fine persistent tannins and calm acidity.

An aromatic and punchy perfume of red cherry, pomegranate and delicate fresh florals layered over subtle undergrowth captures the essence of Pinot Noir. Fresh red fruits and herbal tones lay on a bed of silky tannin that evolves into a fine, sustained finish. There is a pronounced mineral character and pleasant acidity which creates a harmony that is assured and invigorating.

Beautifully floral on the nose, a lot of tree blossom, fruit notes like pear and blood orange with subtle notes of fragrant potpourri. Great acidity and a round finish makes this a versatile wine for an aperitif and with first courses including grilled octopus, an ice-cold seafood tower, and all of the flavors of the sea.

The harvest from these parcels is always carried out later because of the dominant varieties, Cabernet Franc & Cabernet Sauvignon. Careful vinification gives this wine depth, elegance and length in the mouth. The floral bouquet of the Cabernet variety is predominant in the wines youth but develops later towards the more complex aromas of a Grand Vin de Bordeaux. Beautiful deep colour with purple tints. Focused and fruity nose with faint toast in the background. The same fairly elegant aromatic combination flows through to the palate. A very accessible, supple, crisp Bordeaux.
