Hachette
“Disgorged in March 2017, Bollinger’s 2007 Grande Année is brilliant, offering a superb bouquet of lemon oil, candied citrus, marzipan, iodine, nuts, and freshly baked bread. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, with broad shoulders and power in an often slender vintage. Excellent concentration, a deep, tight body, and a precise, chalky finish.” (Wine Advocate 2019 - William Kelley) A cuvée of choice!

It has a beautiful aromatic depth with honeyed notes and a delicately chalky texture; hints of candied lemon and lovely bitter notes on the finish, along with great freshness.

Rated estate (2025 guide) 5*Stars (Exceptional producers, those representing the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and around the world)
About the wine:
A very wine-forward style, perfect for the table; a great vintage that is ultimately very classic in the winery’s traditional style.
About the estate:
A prestigious traditional house based in Aÿ since 1829, Bollinger remains at the very pinnacle of Champagne. Its 178-hectare vineyard, comprising Grand Crus and Premiers Crus, provides 60% of its supply. All vintage wines are vinified in barrels, as is a small portion of the house’s multi-vintage brut, the Special Cuvée. This cuvée benefits from a high proportion of reserve wines stored in magnums, ensuring unparalleled precision in the blends. In recent years, the house has created exciting new cuvées: a Blanc de Noir from Aÿ sourced from the Côte aux Enfants parcel, which also produces a superb Coteau Champenois. And Pinot Noir cuvées whose names derive from the dominant cru in the blend, which varies each year. All of the house’s wines shine at the table.

About the wine:
“A perfect nose, in my opinion!” wrote one taster after sampling this pale gold champagne with its fine, persistent effervescence. The jury praised the clarity and intensity of its aromas of ripe fruit, dried fruit, and toasted notes. Perfectly balanced, the palate captivates with the delicacy of its flavors, which are both ripe and fresh. The woodiness, perceptible yet perfectly integrated, contributes to the sense of harmony that this wine exudes.
About the estate:
A renowned house founded in 1829 by Joseph Bollinger, a wine merchant originally from Württemberg. It has remained a family-owned business, although since 2008 it has been led by someone from outside the family (Charles-Armand de Belenet since 2017). With a 179-hectare vineyard dominated by Pinot Noir (60%) and its own cooperage, the house ensures the preservation of its style, based on expert blends of wines vinified separately in oak barrels (reused to avoid overpowering oak) and in small-capacity tanks. As for the reserve wines, they are stored in magnums under “petite mousse.” Bottling is done with cork stoppers, and the wines undergo extended aging on the lees. Gilles Descôtes joined the company in 2003 and succeeded six cellar masters in 2013.

Rated estate (2025 guide) 3*Stars (These represent the pinnacle of French winemaking. The finest terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical experience)
About the wine:
It is beginning to develop, with a smooth, creamy, and well-rounded palate. A lovely finish.
About the estate:
If there is one brand with a strong personality and a highly recognizable style, it is Bollinger. This family-owned house in Aÿ produces wines dominated by Pinot Noir—full-bodied, deep, and subtly aged. Bollinger’s history is incredibly rich. A benchmark house, always at the forefront of innovation. The aging potential of its older vintages attests to this commitment to excellence passed down from generation to generation. The character and richness of these fine dining champagnes remain a model of excellence.
