Description
The House of Champagne Bollinger was founded in 1829 in the village of Aÿ, in the heart of the Champagne region. Famous for its use of Pinot Noir and oak ageing techniques, the Bollinger wines are defined as much by the vines and the terroir as they are by the art of their blending and vinification. Sustainability and organic principles are key to the House’s philosophy, with Bollinger the first Champagne House to be awarded the Haute Valeur Environmentale certification. The quality and quest for perfection for which Bollinger is renowned was recognised by the Court of England when, in 1884, the House was the first in Champagne to be awarded a Royal Warrant, which it has held ever since. Bollinger also has several iconic partnerships. In particular, as the preferred champagne of James Bond, celebrating 40 years of the partnership in 2019. The House is also the official champagne supplier of England Rugby and supports the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize, an annual literary award for comic writing.
