Bollinger was established in 1829 by JacquesBollinger and Paul Renaudin. Over the years the vineyard holdings have been steadily increased with the largest expansion taking place under the stewardship of the legendary Mme Lily Bollinger. She ran the company between 1941 and 1977 and today it is managed by her great-nephew, Ghislain de Montgolfier. Bollinger has a reputation for producing muscular wines with body, depth and power, and is today considered one of the Great Champagne houses. 70% of the grapes come from the firms own vineyards. 80% of the harvest is barrel-fermented with the wines being kept on their yeast lees for an extended period of time (in the case of the RD, around 10 years). Bollinger produces classic, complex, Pinot-dominated champagnes with the ability to age gracefully for many years. Size: 75cl bottle.
