Bollinger PN VZ20 AOC (in gift box)

Bollinger is an elite champagne with an unparalleled image and excellent ratings from experts. The origins of this wine date back to 1650. It was then that the family of Count Hennequin de Villermont arrived in the beautiful town of Aÿ in Champagne — the center of winemaking art. The history of the Bollinger wine house began in 1829, with the significant moment when Admiral Athanase Louis Emmanuel and Placid Bollinger (a descendant of Count Villermont) decided to run a joint family business. The family owned excellent vineyards, and the choice of profit was obvious, as sparkling wine was rapidly gaining respect worldwide. This was the "golden age" of champagne. By 1920, the Bollinger house had reached the level of being one of the world's best-selling brands, known to millions. The best period of prosperity for the company fell in the mid-twentieth century, when the management of the winery was in the hands of the talented Lily Bollinger, who idealized the taste of wine and perfected it, thereby doubling the sales of her products. The last representative of the dynasty to lead the company was Ghislaine de Montgolfier — the great-great-grandson of the founder. In early 2008, the house appointed Jérôme Philippon as the first hired manager in the entire history of the wine house, but Bollinger champagne still carries a centuries-old family history.
