Description: Since 1829, Champagne Bollinger has been making great wines with a powerful, refined, and complex style. A custodian of nearly 200 years of family heritage starting with Joseph “Jacques” Bollinger and Paul Renaudin, both native to the Champagne region. The Bollinger style has a dense and subtle presence, a balance from the intensity of great pinot noir and the freshness of chardonnay grown in the Côte des Blancs. Bollinger style releases a creamy effervescence resulting from vinifying in oak barrels and prolonged contact with the yeasts. They guarantee a unique tasting experience that always offers something new. This style stems from a solid base, rooted in 5 tangible principles: the "House Vineyards"; Pinot Noir; magnums of reserve wines in the special cuvee; the barrels and time.

The excellence of a great vintage! La Grande Année 2015 exhibits sensory and emotional qualities that echo the theme of Bollinger's forest and the woodland realm, a realm which imparted structure and precision during the time it spent maturing in oak casks. Bollinger's winemaking philosophy fosters flavor development and provides ideal conditions for maturation. To discover Champagne Bollinger is to meet one of the last great Champagne families and share special experiences among great wine connoisseurs.
