The name of Bollingers emblematic champagne, with its English spelling, encapsulates its entire history. It was the British agent of Georges Bollinger who, in 1911, christened it Special Cuve, as he found the expression non-vintage brut did not befit a champagne of such subtlety. Over a century later, the name of the champagne emblematic of Bollingers expertise still encapsulates its entire history.
