Bollinger Champagne

Bollinger is one of the most prestigious and historically significant Champagne houses in the world. Founded in 1829 in Aÿ, France, the brand has built a global reputation for its signature full-bodied style, characterized by the heavy use of Pinot Noir and oak fermentation. It is famously known as the 'James Bond' champagne, having been featured in the film franchise for decades.

Production is strictly centered in the Champagne region of France, where the house manages significant vineyard holdings, covering about 60% of its needs. This vertical integration allows for meticulous quality control. Unlike many of its competitors that have been acquired by large luxury conglomerates, Bollinger remains an independent, family-owned entity.

The brand is owned and managed by the Société Jacques Bollinger (SJB). This holding company has expanded over the years to include other notable wine producers, ensuring that the legacy and artisanal methods of the founding family continue to thrive while maintaining their independence in a market dominated by multi-national corporations.
