Champagne Bollinger

Bollinger is one of the most renowned and coveted Champagne Houses in the world, famous for its Pinot-Noir-dominant wines, in particular La Grande Année and the rare Vieilles Vignes Françaises (from pre-phylloxera vines).

About the producer

Bollinger can trace its roots in the Champagne region back to 1585 but it wasn’t officially founded until 1829, when aristocrat Athanase de Villermont inherited a sprawling estate in Aÿ. Forbidden to enter the trade because of his status, Villermont employed wine merchants Joseph Bollinger (who later married Villermont’s daughter) and Paul Renaudin to form Renaudin-Bollinger. Renaudin died in 1851, leaving no heir, but his name stayed on the label until the 1980s.
