伯蘭爵酒廠

這個故事是從貴族世家一位聰明的年輕兒子Athanase de Villermont，一位離家學習香檳通路市場的德國人Joseph Bollinger，和一位熱愛葡萄酒的法國人 Paul Renaudin 相遇開始。 但真正讓Bollinger 聲名大噪的幕後推手絕對是 Jacques Bollinger 的夫人 Elizabeth。在 Elizabeth 43 歲的時候 Jacques Bollinger 因戰爭護國而喪身，為了延續丈夫的理想，Elizabeth 扛起經營領導酒廠的重責大任，並於1963 年釋出1947 年份――第一個年份香檳，儼然成為了第一瓶在市場上釋出的Bollinger R.D.。 而Bollinger 的精緻、細膩，延綿不絕的氣泡也深得英國皇室的喜愛，得到英國伊莉莎白女王的授權標章，成為皇室指定用酒。而除英國皇室外，最深得人心的英國007 情報員詹姆士龐德也是 Champagne Bollinger 的愛好者。

The story began with Athanase de Villermont, the youngest son of a noble family with a brilliant destiny. A great soldier who shone during the American War of Independence, he inherited an extensive estate from his family in the Aÿ area. He immediately foresaw the extraordinary potential of the wines of Champagne, but as an aristocrat he was forbidden to become involved in trade. He then met Joseph Bollinger, a widely travelled German who had left his country of birth to learn about the Champagne wine trade, and Paul Renaudin, a local man who was fascinated by the world of wine. The firm of Renaudin-Bollinger & Cie was founded on 6th February 1829. Joseph took care of sales and Paul of the cellar. Athanase had founded a champagne House that was to endure through the centuries.
