Since September 2007, Jéròme Philipon has been president of the house, continuing the development of the Bollinger brand while respecting the principles and values of the winery.
Vinification in wood is a very specific Bollinger singularity, the sign of a commitment to extreme quality and the affirmation of a style. However, the indispensable condition is to have the best wines at the start. The small oak barrel is the best fate a great wine can know: it allows controlled oxidation of the wine and a harmonious development of aromas and bouquet.
If Bollinger Champagnes age longer than the rules of the appellation require, it is not out of vanity: like all great wines, they need time to express their full personality. Bollinger allows 3 years for the Special Cuvée and Rosé, a minimum of 5 years for the Grande Année, 8 years and more for the R.D.
Added to the length of time is the particular quality of the uniquely "traditional" yeasts. The Bollinger Maison only produces Vintage Champagne in an exceptional vintage, when the grapes are perfectly ripe, with an ideal balance between sugar and acidity. Read more

| Story | In 2013, the Champagne region faced unique weather conditions with a long Winter punctuated by snow and frost. Despite these turbulent circumstances, Champagne Bollinger shaped the wine from this particularly late harvest into a vintage, and by doing so, also made a limited edition : B13, which stands for Bollinger 2013. It’s thanks to the ethical farming practices that Bollinger employs in the vineyard that the Champagne House constantly benefits from undeniably high-quality grapes, no matter how difficult certain years can be. This vintage Blanc de Noirs champagne embodies the excellence of the Bollinger vineyards on the Montage de Reims, and is a tribute to Bollinger’s oenological and environmental values. |
