About this deal

In 1994 it was none other than the great-great-grandson of founder Joseph Bollinger who was to become head of the House. Ghislain de Montgolfier continued to develop the House with the pursuit of excellence as a guiding light. He continues to maintain a policy of voluntarily limiting amounts produced to increase quality, while remaining true to the Bollinger spirit. In 2007 his technical expertise led him to be elected as head of the Board of the Union des Maisons de Champagne and co-chairman of the Comité interprofessionnel du vin de Champagne. In Cuis, a village to the north of the Côte des Blancs with Premier cru classification, lies one of Champagne Bollinger’s historic vineyards, one that stands out for the varied orientations of its slopes. The story begins with Athanase de Villermont, who inherited a vast estate from his family on the outskirts of Aÿ. He instantly sensed the extraordinary potential of the wines of Champagne, but as a member of the aristocracy, he was forbidden from taking part in any commercial activity. Then he met Joseph “Jacques” Bollinger, who specialised in selling the wines of Champagne, and Paul Renaudin, a born-and-bred Champenois fascinated by the world of wine. On 6 February 1829, the company Renaudin-Bollinger & Cie was founded. Joseph was in charge of sales, while Paul oversaw the cellar. Athanase had founded a Champagne house that would transcend centuries.

With her customary common sense, Madame Bollinger gathered around her those family members who were most able to follow in her footsteps. Firstly she taught Claude d’Hautefeuille, her niece’s husband, the ins and outs of the House. In 1950 he became a Director and launched an ambitious modernisation programme whilst respecting Bollinger’s quality requirements. Madame Bollinger appointed him Chairman in 1971 but remained closely involved until her death six years later. Madame Bollinger’s nephew, Christian Bizot, took over from Claude in 1978. A great traveller, like his Aunt Lily before him he made a point of meeting with sommeliers, restaurant owners and wine merchants to promote the House’s wines. A great Chairman, he was well known for his outspokenness and informality. Unashamedly indulgent, Taittinger allows chardonnay to dominate this cuvée, adding a lively, refreshing slant on crowd-pleasing strawberries and cream. Keep a bottle on ice for serving alongside a stracciatella-topped bruschetta when hosting your next dinner party and thank us later. Champagne Bollinger keeps part of its reserve wines in magnums. Every year, a portion of the best wines joins the exceptional collection of 800,000 reserve magnums destined for the Special Cuvée and Bollinger Rosé blends. This method is unique in Champagne, with its use at Bollinger documented since 1890, and is one of the great style markers of the house.

Elisabeth Law de Lauriston-Boubers. Jacques Bollinger took care of the future development of the business, most notably by extending the premises, building new storerooms and acquiring a residence along Boulevard du Maréchal de Lattre de Tassigny, where the present day offices are housed. He also added to the Bollinger vineyards by purchasing vines in Tauxières. Archival research conducted that same year allowed the vintages of the newly-discovered bottles to be identified, the oldest of which turned out to be 1830. Elisabeth Bollinger was also passionately involved with the House’s destiny. She was only 42 when she lost her husband at the height of the war; without hesitation and with great dignity she stepped in and threw herself heart and soul into her new role.During her many visits abroad her natural grace and charm worked wonders. Cheerful and witty, Madame Bollinger was nonetheless a formidable strategist and businesswoman. A perfectionist, she would tolerate nothing short of excellence. She was always ready to innovate, and was the driving force behind the highly original Bollinger R.D. cuvée. The brand’s famous floral bottle gives a hint as to what you’ll find in the glass.
