Champagne, France – Pinot Noir, Chardonnay & Meunier
A rich and refined Champagne with orchard fruit, brioche and hazelnut. Complex, elegant and unmistakably Bollinger.

Champagne Bollinger, established in 1829, is a distinguished, family-owned Champagne house that remains fiercely independent. Celebrated for its Pinot Noir-centric blends, Bollinger adheres to traditional methods, including extended aging periods that can be up to four times longer than the norm. This commitment to tradition yields Champagnes with intricate, toasty flavours that define Bollinger’s signature style.
Madame Lily Bollinger, a legendary figure in the house’s history, once remarked, “I drink Champagne when I’m happy and when I’m sad. Sometimes I drink it when I’m alone. When I have company I consider it obligatory”.
Moreover, Bollinger’s use of the magnum format, which enhances the richness and aromatic purity of their reserve wines, significantly boosts the aging potential and complexity of their Champagnes. This exceptional combination of heritage, quality, and independence cements Bollinger’s esteemed reputation in the Champagne world.

Pinot Noir (60%)

Pinot Noir is one of the world’s most revered red grape varieties, known for its ability to express site with clarity and finesse. Typically showing red and dark cherry fruit, floral notes and subtle earthiness, it is light to medium bodied with fine tannins and bright acidity. Styles range from delicate and aromatic to more structured and concentrated, depending on climate and winemaking approach.

Chardonnay (25%)

Chardonnay is one of the most versatile and widely planted white grape varieties in the world, renowned for its adaptability to diverse climates and winemaking styles. Originating in Burgundy, where it reaches its most elegant and mineral expression, Chardonnay can range from crisp and steely to rich and opulent, depending on where and how it is made. Its relatively neutral character allows it to reflect both terroir and technique—whether aged in stainless steel for a lean, citrus-driven profile, or in oak barrels to develop notes of vanilla, toast, and creamy texture. Flavours often include apple, pear, lemon, peach, and tropical fruits, with cool-climate examples offering tension and minerality, while warmer regions yield fuller, rounder styles. From Chablis to Napa, Margaret River to Sicily, Chardonnay remains a benchmark for quality and diversity in white wine.

Pinot Meunier (15%)

Pinot Meunier is one of the three principal grapes of Champagne, valued for the freshness, fruit character and approachability it brings to sparkling wines. Often showing notes of apple, pear, peach and subtle floral tones, it produces wines with soft texture and vibrant early appeal, helping to balance the structure of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in traditional Champagne blends. Thriving in Champagne’s cooler conditions, Pinot Meunier is particularly prized for its reliability in more challenging vintages and its ability to add roundness and generosity to non vintage cuvées. While traditionally used as a blending component, it is increasingly recognised in its own right for producing expressive, fruit-driven sparkling wines with charm and immediacy.
