Champagne Bollinger was featured on the digital homepage of Whitewall this week to highlight the launch of Le Grand Dîner, the Champagne House’s first traveling dinner series in the United States. The writer explains that Le Grand Dîner, a partnership with Resy, was created to celebrate the release of Champagne Bollinger La Grande Année 2008. The story includes quotes from Cellar Master Gilles Descôtes noting that “We do not believe in short cuts. We age each vintage bottle under cork and disgorge and riddle by hand because we believe these labor-intensive practices are the absolute best for the wine.” He adds, “The same can be said of the chefs we are partnering with, all of whom strive to achieve balance and dimension with each bite through precise techniques, attention to detail and careful ingredient selection.” In addition to outlining the concept in greater detail, the writer concludes with information on the New York, Los Angeles and Chicago dinners.

La Grande Année: The Great Year. This Champagne is the embodiment of everything that makes Bollinger the producer that stands apart in Champagne. La Grande Année, or LGA, preserves the traditions of the past and symbolizes the word "hand-crafted" so strongly that an overused word suddenly becomes the only appropriate definition.

Bollinger is one of the rare Grande Marques that’s still family owned. Known for its rich, elegant and polished style of Champagne, their outstanding wines are the result of rigorous attention to detail and incredibly labor-intensive practices that few houses are willing to undertake. Underscoring its excellence, Bollinger has remained British secret agent James Bond's Champagne of choice since 1973.
