The history of Bollinger dates back to 1829 when Hennequin de Villermont, Paul Renaudin and Jacques Bollinger established the House in Aÿ. Today, Bollinger maintains more than 160 hectares of vineyards dominated by Pinot Noir vines. All of Champagne spends a long time on ageing on its lees, contributing to the complex flavor of the wine. At disgorgement, Bollinger wines are given a low dosage to maintain the balance and flavor of the wine.
Pinot Noir, Chardonnay: WS 96 pts
"A monument to Champagne. Has superb structure. A full-bodied, massive, rich, fruity wine, with intense aromas of yeast and dough, a solid backbone and a super-long finish. Has great aging potential. Better in 1994 to '96, but who can wait to drink it?"

Pinot Noir, Chardonnay: WS 94 pts
"A beautiful Champagne, from the complex floral-, coffee- and brioche-scented nose to the graphite, vanilla and citrus flavors. Light-weight and intense, with a lively structure and a long, lingering finish. Drink now through 2018."
Pinot Noir, Chardonnay: WS
"Floral, menthol and yeast aromas are distinctive in this fresh, light-weight Champagne. It firms up on the finish, leaving a mouthwatering impression. Drink now."
Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier: WS 93 pts
"Exudes honey, with richness and a supple texture. Peach, biscuit and dried orange peel notes add complexity, and the wine glides to a long, lingering aftertaste of honey and brioche. Drink now through 2012."
