Melanie Lloyd rated this wine as 95/100 with the following review:

Such a treat! Aromas of bruised apple, pear tart, brioche and buttery goodness. On the palate, there are fine bubbles with flavours of lemon, ripe apples, pear, and brioche. It is creamy and completely decadent!

Tasted October 2017.

Malcolm Lamont rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

A Classic style from this top producer.

Medium lemon in colour. Very Yummy autolytic characteristics (yeast, bread, brioche), citrus, and green apple. Minerally on the palate, with lemon, lemon peel, toast and bread notes.

Holy yum! James Bond has exquisite taste.... and so do I ;)

This is one my favourite Champagnes and I'll tell you why. When thousands of Bollinger's tiny bubbles hit me I get attractive notes of freshly baked brioche, baked apple, lemon curd and toasted almonds. The palate is rich and creamy, and incredibly delicious. Pair your someone special. Tasted Nov 2016 - @sommsosa | bespoketastings.ca

Jane Staples rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

Fragrant brioche, honey, and delicate lemon delight your nose and palate. Extra-dry, lightly kisses the mouth, very fine persistent mousse. Pair with romance.

Natalie's Review

Bollinger Special Cuvee Champagne, Champagne A.C., France: This is the convenient half bottle size (375 ml) which is ideal when you'd like to begin a meal with a glass and half each to toast. A robust and complex Champagne from one of the region's top producers. Bollinger always delivers and this special cuvee is no exception. Aromas of freshly baked bread, lemon zest and toasted almond. No wonder this was the favourite of James Bond before product placement took over the franchise. Pair with oysters. Drink: 2016-2022. 234104 12% XD 375 mL $49.95 Score: 94/100.
