BOLLINGER SPECIAL BRUT Piedmont from bold grain and woodWine Advocate: 92 points Disgorged in May 2021, the latest rendition of Bollinger s NV Brut Special Cuve is showing beautifully, offering up aromas of ripe orchard fruit, citrus oil and peach, mingled with hints of walnuts and freshly baked bread. Medium to full bodied, fleshy and enveloping, with a generous core of fruit, lively acids and a pillowy mousse, it s seamless and complete, concluding with an expansive finish. William Kelley
