Bollinger Champagne
Bollinger is not a champagne that explains itself – it reveals itself. Since 1829, the house in Aÿ has operated according to the same principles: meticulous craftsmanship, Pinot Noir at its core, and maturity as a mark of quality.
What sets Bollinger apart from many others: The wines are vinified in genuine oak barrels – a process that hardly anyone else undertakes anymore. Riddling and disgorging are done by hand. No shortcuts, no simplifications.
Whether the approachable Special Cuvée or the legendary Vieilles Vignes Françaises from pre-phylloxera vines – there is real attitude in every glass.

Champagne Bollinger –
Craftsmanship, Pinot Noir and 195 years of attitude
Champagne Bollinger is based in Aÿ , one of the most prestigious Grand Cru villages in Champagne, and has been operating there since 1829 according to a philosophy that defies changing trends. Pinot Noir is at the heart of almost all its cuvées, vinified in genuine oak barrels, which the house maintains itself. This level of dedication is rare today: most houses have long since switched to stainless steel tanks. Bollinger has not.
Riddling and disgorging are done by hand – no automated process, no shortcuts. The reserve wines are aged in magnums under corks, not crown caps, which gives them a slower, more oxidative maturation. This shapes the style: broad, complex, with a depth that many champagnes in this price range fail to achieve.
The range extends from the approachable Special Cuvée, which, despite its entry-level character, displays real substance, to the Vieilles Vignes Françaises – a rarity from pre-phylloxera vines grown on their own roots and produced only in exceptional years. Those who drink Bollinger aren't drinking a brand. They're drinking a choice.
