Bollinger…Mmmm, Tiny Bubbles
Saturday at work I had to call BK for an emergency bubbly run. It’s a necessity that we have a bottle of sparkling at the end of the busiest day of the week. Even though this particular Saturday was fairly slow, I couldn’t leave our glasses empty. So I told BK to bring the bottle of Bollinger Special Cuvee I’d been hanging onto for almost a year. When I gave my very first tour at Rosenblum as a freebie to 25 people taking a wine class, the instructor gave me the Bollinger as a thank you. And I in turn needed to thank my friends for covering some shifts during my family’s visit. This Champagne seemed thusly appropriate.
The Bollinger, a first for me, was quite tasty. Meyer lemon zest, sourdough bread, and golden delicious apples. Silky with hella bubbles and a creamy finish. 60% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay, and 15% Pinot Meunier, it includes 5 to 10% of reserve wines kept in magnums in the cellars and the rest is aged three years before disgorgement.
Everyone was pleased I decided to share with them, but hey, they deserved it.
