The Luxury of Time

Champagne Bollinger stands proudly as one of the most iconic and respected family-owned houses in all of Champagne. Founded in Aÿ, Bollinger has built a legacy around powerful, expressive Pinot Noir and an unwavering commitment to traditional winemaking methods. The house is renowned for fermenting all their wines in oak barrels—a practice they have never abandoned—and today they maintain their own in-house cooper, managing a remarkable stock of over 3,500 barrels. With approximately one million bottles fermented in barrel each year, Bollinger’s devotion to craftsmanship is unparalleled, matched only by a handful of producers like Krug. Every bottle speaks to generations of expertise, excellence, and an unrelenting pursuit of quality.
