Champagne Bollinger
Domain
Founded in 1829 in the historic village of Aÿ, Champagne Bollinger is one of the most prestigious names in the region and remains a family-owned house to this day. Known worldwide for its depth, elegance and unmistakable character, Bollinger has built its reputation on the strength of Pinot Noir, which forms the backbone of its style. The estate owns more than 170 hectares of Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards, giving the house exceptional control over quality and a direct link to the finest terroirs of Champagne.
“I drink it when I’m happy and when I’m sad. Sometimes I drink it when I’m alone. When I have company I consider it obligatory. I trifle with it if I’m not hungry and I drink it when I am. Otherwise I never touch it, unless I’m thirsty.”
Madame Elisabeth Bollinger, at the London Daily Mail, 17 octobre 1961
