From Source to Spirit
Production Process
Grape Harvest
OctoberUgni Blanc grapes are harvested in autumn from the chalky terroir of the Cognac region, prized for their high acidity.
Winemaking
3–4 weeksGrapes are pressed and fermented into a thin, acidic white wine — the perfect base for distillation.
Double Distillation
24 hours × 2The wine undergoes two distillations in traditional Charentais copper pot stills (alambic), a process unchanged for centuries.
Oak Ageing
2–100+ yearsThe eau-de-vie is aged in Limousin or Tronçais oak barrels, where it develops amber colour, vanilla notes and complexity.
Blending
MonthsThe Cellar Master blends eaux-de-vie of different ages, crus and styles to create the house's signature expression.
Bottling
Final stageAfter a final rest period, the cognac is brought to bottling strength and presented in its distinctive bottle.
The Story of Maison Bollinger
Bollinger is one of the most prestigious Champagne houses, famous for its full-bodied, Pinot Noir-driven style. The house still ferments a portion of its wines in oak barrels and maintains its own vineyard holdings — unusual in Champagne. It gained iconic status as James Bond's Champagne of choice.
