BOLLINGER
Bollinger, founded in 1829 as Renaudin-Bollinger & Cie, was made with an eye toward the export market, and its future was solidified by a Royal Warrant from Queen Victoria in 1884. Each successive monarch has renewed this warrant, making Bollinger a uniquely "British" champagne. Bollinger famously stores its reserves wines in a magnums, some 70,000 to 80,000 made each year, an extremely labor intensive process that no other house performs on such scale. Bollinger makes one of the rarest and unusual champagnes in the world, Vieilles Vignes Franaises. This blanc de noirs is made from ungrafted pinot noir vines planted in the old method of layering that was commonplace before the coming of phylloxera. Parcels in A Chaudes Terres and Clos St-Jacques currently supply the grapes for Vieilles Vignes, first made in 1969. Peter Liem, ChampagneGuide.net
