Summer of Champagne Finale: Bollinger

Saturday, August 15th we celebrate the Summer of Champagne Finale with Champagne Bollinger, one of the world's most revered and historic Champagne houses. Founded in 1829, Bollinger has built its reputation on complete total quality, traditional approach, and a commitment to Pinot Noir-driven expressions of remarkable character and elegance. From its celebrated vineyards to its distinctive cellar practices, Bollinger continues to represent excellence in Champagne. Join us as we close out our summer series with this iconic maison. Here are the Champagnes we'll feature.

2018 Ayala, Blanc de Blancs - A Champagne devoted entirely to Chardonnay, Ayala Le Blanc de Blancs showcases the remarkable ability of this noble variety to express both purity and depth. Sourced from Grand and Premier Cru vineyards spanning the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims, this cuvée reveals the distinctive character of Champagne’s chalk soils.

Bollinger Rose - a Champagne built with the same DNA as the iconic Special Cuvée: richness, structure, and elegance. Crafted from more than 85% Grand and Premier Cru vineyards, the blend is dominated by Pinot Noir (62%), complemented by Chardonnay (24%) and Meunier (14%).

What sets Bollinger Rosé apart is the addition of exceptional red wine from historic Pinot Noir sites in Verzenay and Aÿ, including vineyards cultivated with the same meticulous approach as the legendary Côte aux Enfants. Though only 5–6% of the blend, this red wine provides remarkable depth, aromatic intensity, and the signature Bollinger character.

Bollinger PN TX20 - a pure expression of the house’s defining grape variety: Pinot Noir. This latest edition of Bollinger’s Blanc de Noirs series is crafted primarily from the Tauxières terroir, with the 2020 vintage serving as the foundation of the blend. Complemented by reserve wines from other years and crus, PN TX20 balances the richness, structure, and depth of Pinot Noir with generosity..

2018 Bollinger, Grande Annee - La Grande Année represents Bollinger’s traditional craftsmanship. Produced exclusively from Grand and Premier Cru vineyards, this prestigious vintage Champagne is vinified in oak barrels made on site, sealed with natural cork, and aged in Bollinger’s historic chalk cellars before release. The continued use of oak adds depth and aromatic complexity, while extended lees aging brings refinement, texture, and remarkable finesse. La Grande Anné is alwasy hand-riddled and hand-disgorged.
