Champagne Bollinger Rosé

Champagne

June 12, 2026 - Bollinger Rosé is a Champagne that quietly breaks the mold. First released in 2008 and made in limited quantities, it begins as Special Cuvée before a small addition of still Pinot Noir brings vibrant red fruit, a touch of tannin and striking depth. Pinot Noir is the heart of Bollinger, making up at least 60% of all wines and shaping the Rosé’s bold yet elegant character. With one-third fermented in oak, aged for up to eight years and blended with reserve wines from magnums, this Rosé offers freshness, complexity and a silk-like texture.

Champagne Bollinger Vieilles Vignes Francaises 2016

Champagne

June 12, 2026 - Vieilles Vignes Françaises is Champagne’s most mythical cuvée, crafted from ungrafted Pinot Noir vines that miraculously survived the phylloxera epidemic. Two of Bollinger’s classified Grands crus, Chaudes Terres and Clos St. Jacques, continue to be farmed using traditional methods that date back to pre-phylloxera times. Created by Madame Lily Bollinger in 1969 to commemorate her 70th birthday and released in 1974, the wine quickly became a collectible, embodying a bygone era. Its rarity makes it one of the most sought-after and collectable Champagnes in the world.

Wine Spectator - September 10, 2025 "Beautifully fragrant with clove, violet and incense aromatics, this rich blanc de noirs is vinous in style. The fine, chalky mousse is almost lightly tannic in texture, and with the…

Champagne Bollinger R.D. 2004

Champagne

June 12, 2026 - The R.D. cuvée is the result of Madame Bollinger’s grand vision. It was an innovative and spectacular cuvée for the time when the fashion was not for old Champagnes: an old vintage, recently disgorged and with an extra-brut dosage. Releasing it promptly after disgorgement captures both the remarkable complexity and extraordinary freshness in the same glass. Fermented barrel by barrel, bottled under cork, and hand-disgorged, R.D. is one of Champagne's most original and important cuvées.
