Bollinger
To produce great Champagne, you first have to make great wines. A great wine can only come from the best grapes. Bollinger has been trading in this spirit for more than 175 years. More than 80% of the grapes (Pinot Noir and Chardonnay) come from our own vineyards, located exclusively in Grand or Premier Cru municipalities. After harvest, the first fermentation (separately per grape variety, per vineyard) takes place in wooden barrels (from Burgundy). A costly process, but an essential part of Champagne Bollinger. The company is still owned by the family, who ensures that the unique style of this champagne house is guaranteed.
Vinification
It took more than ten years before people were 100% satisfied with the result achieved. There are two ways to make a rosé in the Champagne region. By adding red wine (Pinot Noir from the same area), or by skin contact. Bollinger ultimately chose the first option. The Pinot Noir grapes are selected entirely by hand from their own Grand Cru vineyard in Aÿ, called La Côte aux Enfants. After arrival at Champagne Bollinger, these grapes are gently pressed and aged separately in old wooden barrels. Once the wine has been fully fermented and filtered, it is used to transform the Special Cuvée Brut into a rosé. Bollinger adds about 8% red wine to color the blend of 62% Pinot Noir, 24% Chardonnay and 14% Pinot Meunier pink.
Origin
More than 85% of the grapes come from Grands Crus and Premiers Crus in the Champagne region, supplemented with red wine from our own vineyards in, among others, the legendary Côte aux Enfants, in Aÿ.
