Bollinger

Since its foundation in 1829, the Champagne house Bollinger is located in Ay and family owned. The winery has 151 hectares of vineyards, mainly in Grand and Premier Cru areas. The uniqueness of these famous sparkling wines lies in the high standards of ethics and quality that the family has set for itself. These written principles dictate, for example, that the vinification of all wine takes place on the winery itself and is stored there on oak.

Both these high quality standards and the practice practiced to assemble only the best vintages from the best cultivation areas ensure the constant top quality of this Champagne, which Daniel Graig also prefers as a 007 agent.

The high quality requirements start at Bollinger in the vineyard. There is actually no second producer who selects the grapes so carefully at harvest, selects only the ripest grapes and consequently reduces the yield as Bollinger. The fact that people also know the literal side of champagne in this house is shown by the famous quote from Madame Bollinger, who answered the question when she prefers to drink champagne: “I drink champagne, when I am happy and when I am sad. I often drink it when I am alone; and if I have company, it should not be missed. When I'm not hungry I get hungry and when I'm hungry I let it taste good. Furthermore, I don't touch it unless I'm thirsty. ”
