Cellar Favorite: 2008 & 1982 Bollinger Blanc de Noirs Vieilles Vignes Françaises
France: Champagne, cellar favorite, Cellar Favorites
, Apr 2026
Bollinger's Vieilles Vignes Françaises, 100% Pinot Noir, is one of Champagne's rare birds. Production is just a few barrels, increasingly less, the result of decreasing yields tied to the effects of accumulated heat stress. I tasted these two wines during my most recent visit to Bollinger in March 2026.
