Bollinger is considered one the top Champagne houses. Originally founded in 1829 by Jacques Bollinger and Paul Renaudin, it has been the purveyor to the British Court since 1884, as well as several other European kingdoms. Bollinger has a classic, full-bodied style that reflects its Pinot-dominated cuvees. This house is known for its muscular champagnes and R.D. cuvees, which are kept for approximately ten years on their yeast lees.
