Bollinger

Producer description of "Bollinger" Wine offers for "Bollinger" in find+buy

Joseph-Jacob-Placide Bollinger (1803-1884), a nobleman from the Kingdom of Württemberg, joined the Müller-Ruinart champagne company in 1822. He worked successfully as a sales representative in Germany until 1829. In that year, he and two partners founded the famous champagne house in Aÿ near Reims, which initially traded under the name Renaudin-Bollinger. The French admiral and count Athanase-Louis-Emmanuel de Villermont (1763-1840) was a partner and contributed extensive vineyard property. The third co-founder was Paul Renaudin.

Purveyor to the court of Queen Victoria

As Villermont did not want to do business under his own name, the company was renamed Bollinger. Joseph Bollinger, who later also called himself Jacques Bollinger, married Louise-Charlotte de Villermont, the Count's daughter, in 1837. Champagne was exported to England as early as 1865 and in 1884 the house became purveyor to the court of Queen Victoria (1819-1901) and was honoured with the "Royal Warrant". After the founder's death, his sons Joseph and Georges successfully continued the business and acquired additional vineyards near Bouzy, Louvois, Tauxières and Verzenay.
