Bollinger
In Aÿ, in Champagne—where Pinot Noir meets chalk and limestone—Bollinger has guarded, since 1829, an almost stoic idea of grandeur: powerful, yet engineered with precision.
The signature starts with the blend. For Special Cuvée, 60% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay and 15% Meunier form the backbone, with a strong share drawn from Premier‑ and Grand‑Cru villages. Reserve wines sleep under cork in magnum, sometimes for many years, as the house’s living archive. About 30% is fermented in seasoned oak before tirage, extended ageing sur lie, hand remuage, and disgorgement complete the cadence, step by step.
Here, tradition is not nostalgia but technique: hand work, patience, and a cellar logic that protects the Coeur de Cuvée—so every bottle reads like a family document, not a trend.Bollinger
