Bollinger Balthazar Special Cuvée Champagne NV 1200cl Red Box
Wooden boxes for large format bottles are considered to be protective in nature. Therefore, any damage to these in transit will not be eligible for replacement or refund.
Bollinger Special cuvée Non Vintage Champagne 1200cl is Bollinger's benchmark wine. Bollinger only produces two different blends; that designed for the Special cuvée, and that which will become Grande Annee. Following the harvest period, Bollinger's decisions on blending are not made before January. The blend for the Special cuvée is an ideal version of the classic Champagne blend, using the different grapes of a given year from a variety of crus, with the addition of older, reserve wines.
This blend necessarily incorporates subtle variations each year whilst remaining consistent to a style. It is, therefore, the hardest of all to make.
Large format bottles may need to be shipped via an alternative courier and therefore may have a longer lead time.
