Champagne
August 31, 2026 - The seventh edition of Bollinger PN, AYC21 is a 100% Pinot Noir Blanc de Noirs anchored by fruit from Aÿ, blended with Tauxières and Mutigny, and deepened by 25% reserve wines from 2012, 2013, and 2014.

Champagne Bollinger Rosé
Champagne
August 31, 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.
