The Bond Connection to the Bollinger Brand
In the fourth Bond novel by Ian Fleming, Diamonds are Forever (1956), Bollinger Champagne received its first name-check while in the film version, Bond didn’t sip the good stuff until Live and Let Die (1973).
The Bollinger Vineyards
The Bollinger House of Champagne produces 60% of the grapes needed for their products within their own vineyards. The vines at the vineyards are tightly planted and create a distinct landscape. Over half of these vines are dedicated to production of the Pinot Noir grape. Each vine is hand-tended and reproduced through provignage in order to preserve the heritage of the vine.
The Bollinger Process of Winemaking
Quality is the hallmark of the Bollinger winemaking process. Primary fermentation takes place in either stainless steel, wooden casks, or oaken barrels and then bottled for resting in the chalk cellars. Long resting periods allow the wines to develop the delicate bubbles and marvelous aroma.
Riddling and disgorging by hand is the standard with the Bollinger family of wines. Once disgorgement is complete, the wines rest another three months to promote stability.
FYI Regarding the House of Bollinger
- The prospect of producing rosé was at first quite distasteful due to its relationship to brothels during the 1960s. In 2007, the first Bollinger Rosé was released.
- The sustainable practices used by Bollinger earned them the first High Environmental Value certification among the Champagne Houses.
- A Royal Warrant from Queen Victoria in 1884 helped the Bollinger brand gain fame through the sovereign’s stamp of approval.
