Discover more about Champagne Bollinger

Champagne Bollinger, located in the heart of Aÿ-Champagne, is a renowned producer of luxury sparkling wines with a history dating back to 1829. Founded by Hennequin de Villermont, Paul Renaudin, and Jacques Bollinger, the house has remained family-run for generations, maintaining a commitment to excellence and tradition. Bollinger distinguishes itself through its emphasis on Pinot Noir, which constitutes 60% of its vineyard plantings, and the use of oak barrels for initial fermentation. The house also maintains reserve wines aged in magnums, some for as long as 15 years, contributing to the complexity and depth of its blends. The Special Cuvée, a flagship wine introduced in 1911, embodies the house's signature style. The house's commitment to quality extends to its sustainability practices, having been awarded the Haute Valeur Environmentale certification. Bollinger's historical cellars and vineyards offer visitors an exclusive experience to discover the winemaking secrets of one of the last family-run Champagne houses. Tours provide insight into the pillars of the Bollinger style, rooted in both tradition and innovation. Champagne Bollinger gained international recognition, including the Royal Warrant from Queen Victoria in 1884, an honor renewed by subsequent British monarchs. It is also known as the official Champagne of James Bond since 1979.
