- Description
- Bollinger's 2012 Vieilles Vignes Francaises represents the pinnacle of the house's ambitions, crafted from pre-phylloxera vineyards planted at low density since 1969. These ancient ungrafted vines produce an exceptionally rich base wine with greater complexity and mineral intensity than standard Champagnes. Rare and produced in strictly limited quantities, this is a collector's Champagne with genuine provenance and ageing potential.
