About Champagne Bollinger

Founded in 1829 in the Ay region of Champagne by Jacques Bollinger, this esteemed house continues to be managed by the Bollinger family to this day. Following the passing of Jacques during World War II, his widow, Elizabeth 'Lilly' Bollinger, made vital efforts to protect the house by acquiring high-quality vineyards and expanding the global distribution network.

Thanks to their commitment to quality, inherent in traditional production methods like fermentation in oak barrels and extended aging in cellars, Bollinger has retained its royal warrants from seven consecutive British monarchs—starting from Queen Victoria in 1884 to the latest endorsement by King Charles III in 2024.

Bollinger has also enjoyed a longstanding partnership with the iconic 007 film series, with characters often choosing Bollinger champagne, further enhancing its luxurious image.

In 1992, Bollinger introduced the Bollinger Charter, committing to ethical and quality standards in production. The house was the first in the Champagne region to achieve HVE (High Environmental Value) certification in 2012, followed by the VEC (Sustainable Certification for Wine Growers) in 2014.

The Bollinger family's relentless pursuit of quality continues to solidify their unique style, characterized by the exceptional aromas and elegance of high-quality Pinot Noir, sourced from the finest soils.
