Territory

We are in Ay , one of the historic towns in the heart of Champagne , here is the Maison Bollinger, founded in 1829 when they chose to join forces with the German Joseph Bollinger and the wine enthusiast Paul Ranaudin.

Over the years, after having managed to successfully impose his own bubbles especially on the English and American markets , it was Joseph Bollinger himself who became the symbolic man of the Maison.

Soil

The composition of the soil is predominantly made up of limestone , chalk and marl . Gypsum has the property of retaining water by capillary action and its high porosity is a water reservoir which gives the plant an adequate supply even during the driest summers.
