Bollinger Page Started
I have recently started editing the stub for Bollinger champagne. The page was a stub with only a few cultural references. I started by writing and adding the History. Please stay tuned for more details which I will add to the page. Veritasjohn 22:08, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
The lead sentence right now is way too simple. At one point, the lead mentioned that Bollinger was Bond's favorite champagne. I am not currently advocated a simple reversion to that version. However, I believe the article right now lacks enough information in the lead / intro paragraph. A simple mention that Bollinger is a type of Champagne is not very descriptive. Considering the amount of information about Bollinger late in the article, the intro does not give the reader enough information. I am opening a discussion about what information should be included in the lead paragraph. I believe a short paragraph is likely the optimum intro section. Veritasjohn 21:01, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
While working up to GA here are some things that I'd like to find sources on or expand. Agne Cheese/ Wine 00:13, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
I propose to remove many of the red stub links for names which are unlikely to be created anytime in the near future. Perhaps a few main names coudl be left, such as the main Bollinger founder, but many of the other names for historic figures are unlikely to be created anytime soon. I think the high number of red links impares the quality and readibility of the article. Veritasjohn 15:48, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
I tried unsuccessfully to revise the information box for Bollinger. I am of the view that in terms of price and production, R.D. qualifies as a prestige cuvée. Indeed, I have learned that Bollinger intends to increase the price of R.D. for future releases to a level at or above Louis Roederer's Cristal. May I suggest a threefold classification, Non-vintage, Vintage and Prestige cuvées. I did add a bit about what I believe is the now abandoned Année Rare label. In about 1994 one could purchase a 1975 Année Rare, 1979 R.D. and the current vintage of Bollinger 1985. I had emailed Bollinger in the past year to find out whether Année Rare was still produced but received no reply. Fmh1964 17:45, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
I had added a note that Bollinger champagnes do age. It is interesting to note that despite being the same wine, Grande Année and R.D. of the same vintage receive different scores and tasting notes from such wine writers as Robert M. Parker Jr. and Michael Broadbent. Fmh1964 17:45, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
I think that we may be entering into the long running debate as to whether champagnes age. In 1995, I conducted the following tasting A.R. 1975, R.D. 1975, R.D. 1979, G.A 1979, G.A. 1982 and G.A. 1985. There were differences in between the two 1975s and the two 1979s. It did demonstrate that champagnes do age differently between kept on the lees and in the bottle. As further evidence of the difference between Grand Annee and R.D., may I refer you to Michael Broadbent's New Great Vintage Book of Wine, Alfred A. Knopf, New York, 1991 at pp. 339 - 349. (Please note that * refers to the number of stars out of 5.) As an example, Michael Broadbent's entry for the 1982 Grand Annee, "First noted Nov. 1986. Some depth of colour; a sweet, broad, meaty old-style Bollinger nose with just a whiff of sultanas; medium dry, fairly full-bodied, rich, chewy. More recently: fairly pale, lively; good rich creamy nose; dry medium-full body. Showing well. Latterly I have found it somewhat acidic on nose and palate, but a wine of refinement. Last tasted Nov. 1990 **(**) 1992-1998. Compare that to his description of the Bollinger, RD Palish yellow; straw nose and taste. May 1991 **. From my own of Bollinger champagnes, I have come to the conclusion that while the Grande Année and Vielles Vignes Françaises both repay bottle aging while the R.D. champagnes do not develop. I have been fortunate to taste the following Bollinger champagnes, R.D. 1973, 1975, 1979, 1982, Grande Année 1979, 1982, 1985, 1988, 1989 and 1990, Année Rare 1975 and Vielles Vignes Françaises 1979, 1981 and 1988. Fmh1964 16:58, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
I will look to see what the aging potential of Bollinger champagnes is given by Robert M. Parker Jr. I have however found a reference in Tom Stevenson's The Millennium Champagne & Sparkling Wine Guide, Elan Press, 1998 at p. 77 which rates the Bollinger Grande Année 1985 at 96 points drinking between 1998 & 2010 with a note that "Still available and if you still have the first release of 1985 nesting in your cellar, you have a wine of magnificent fruit, exuberance, complexity and finesse." The Bollinger 1985 R.D. scored 93 points for drinking between 1998 & 2010 and received the following comment "Dominated by the flowery, acacia-like finesse of autolysis which all R.D. fans love, the powerful, rich-flavored fruit in this wine is awesome, but I still prefer the way the first disgorgement has developed. I will have to have a look at subsequent reviews by Tom Stevenson who is probably the leading writer on champagne at present to see if there are differences between the aging potential as well as scores of R.D. and Grande Année. Fmh1964 21:45, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
I have managed to find published reviews of Bollinger Grande Année and Bollinger R.D. for the same vintage in the Winespectator. Bruce Sanderson is the reviewer identified for all of these wines apart from the 1990 Grande Année where no reviewer is given. Keep in mind that the Grande Année and the R.D. are the same blend but differ only in disgorgement date.
1996 vintage: Grande Année higher score but R.D. claimed to last 5 years longer.
In the November 15, 2004 Winespectator, the Grand Année 1996 received 93 points with the following review from BS "This is full-bodied, with berry, bread dough and citrus aromas and flavors unfolding on the palate. It's firm and muscular, with depth, intensity and a long, lingering aftertaste. A Champagne for the table. Drink now through 2015." In the November 30, 2006 edition of the Winespectator, the R.D. 1996 received 94 points and had the following review from the same reviewer, "A powerhouse. Big and sophisticated, combining lemon and grapefruit notes with candied fruits, roasted nuts and coffee. Fresh, dry and finely detailed, with finesse and a lingering finish driven by acidity. Drink now through 2020."
1995 vintage: Equal scores of 95 points. R.D. claimed to last 10 years longer.
In the November 15, 2002 the Grande Annéee received the following review from BS "Brilliant. Very distinctive aromas of coconut and vanilla, with oxidation adding complexity, followed by fresh citrus, oatmeal and honey notes. It's all displayed on a firm, powerful structure that needs time to integrate all the elements. Classy finish. A statement. Drink now through 2010."
The R.D. 1995 from the August 31, 2005 edition of the Winespectator received the following review, "A dry, oxidative style, with whole-grain bread, ginger, roasted hazelnut and yeast notes lending complexity. Its structure comes into relief due to the dryness, but overall this is balanced and well-integrated, with a very long finish and an expansive aftertaste. Ideal with seafood and rich sauces or game birds. Drink now through 2020." For the 1990 vintage, the Grande Année
1990 vintage: R.D. higher score and claimed to last 16 years longer.
In the September 15, 1999 edition of the Winespectator, the Grande Année garnered 95 points was described as follows, "A sense of opulence marks this highly concentrated, creamy-textured 1990 Champagne, with its ripe, generous fruit flavors complementing the toasty, honeyed nuances acquired from aging on the lees. Lingering finish. Drink now through 2004.
In the November 30, 2004 edition of the Winespectator, the R.D. 1990 received 97 points and was described as "A full-bodied, powerful Champagne featuring biscuit and ginger aromas and flavors, picking up a grilled nut character on the finish. Very firmly structured and dry, yet with the flavor intensity and fine texture to match, this is a tour de force. Endless finish. Drink now through 2020." I hope this demonstrates my contentions that Bollinger champagnes are capable of aging and that the R.D. and Grande Année age differently. Fmh1964 04:20, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
I have added some information about the corporate structure of Bollinger and its related companies. Fmh1964 03:26, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
I have added an entry on this still red wine produced by Bollinger. I realize that it is rarely seen and is not a champagne but for the sake of comprehensiveness, I have added it. Fmh1964 17:42, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
I have just added the list of villages where Bollinger has vineyard holdings. The information that Tom Stevenson gives from 1988 is 141.75 hectares owned, of which 120.65 hectares are planted. This accounted for 70% of Bollinger's needs in the 1980s.
Champagne's system vineyard ratings is based on price and warrants an entry on the general page of champagnes. This information can be replicated for other producers. One that comes immediately to mind is the Salon page which is at present written like an advertising blurb. Fmh1964 21:30, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
Note to Veritasjohn and Agne27, may I suggest that we work together to develop a standardized format on this page Bollinger which can then be used for the other champagne producers listed on Wiki? Headings which I think we can agree on are History of the house, Range of Products, Vinification, Corporate Structure and Trivia/Popular Culture references. What are your thoughts? Fmh1964 15:35, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
Perhaps instead of range of products, "Product portfolio" could be used. In the case of Bollinger, they do produce a Coteaux Champenois and other houses produce Marc de Champagne. Neither is a champagne and readers might wonder just what such a product is when they see the bottle on the shelf but the product inside is not champagne. So here is my suggested list of ranges, Non-Vintage, Vintage & Prestige Cuvee(s) with a further description as to dryness e.g. Brut, Extra-Dry, Dry and Demi-Sec. Corporate Structure or perhaps Corporate Information could go into general information but it should also include financial links to other firms. What about a quick description of house style i.e. full, medium or light bodied? As far as a handy reference tool, that would I believe help readers especially if they want to buy a bottle. House style can be verified by publications such as Robert M. Parker's Wine Guides. Also in general information or perhaps just in the information box, the name of the chief winemaker if known. Such a format could then be used for the Wiki Project on Wines. Fmh1964 17:32, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
"Range of Products" and "Product Portfolio" sounds too much like a sales brochures. How about simply "Wines"? I also think we should we strongly avoid the trivia and pop culture references per WP:TRIVIA. These are world class wines we are writing about and I think it is actually a disservice to the article to populate it with "trivial" details. Agne Cheese/ Wine 18:23, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
How about Wines and if produced Spirits for Marc de Champagne? This will result in an accurate description which will avoid commercial overtones. I am not so opposed to the trivia, as for some people it may be how they first learn or remember such wines. In the case of Bollinger, I recall buying my first bottle of R.D. and the clerk at the rare wine store said, "That's the wine James Bond drinks." If you look at the website, Bollinger is actively using its product placement in the Bond films. A trivia section with links to related items on wikipedia would be a fascinating example of the links that occur on the internet. Fmh1964 18:52, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
A new editor has done some fine cleaning up of language today. (IP address or I would name). However, some of the changes involve a capitalization change, to make "Champagne" capitalized in all uses. I think this is incorrect, but a quick review of other pages does not reveal on consensus. I understand capitalizing Champagne when it is part of a proper noun, such as "Champagne region," but I think when it is used to describe the type of wine "champagne" should not be capitalized. This seems like capitalizing "Wine" in all uses -- also incorrect. Other thoughts? Veritasjohn 21:43, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

This article is on the borderline and therefore can not be WP:BOLDly assessed. Extra opinions are welcomed. My major concern is the lack of referencing, particularly in the reference section. The lead could use some more expansion and summarizing of the article per WP:LEAD and the production could use more paragraph structure. In terms of content, the article is not really lacking in much comprehensiveness which would put this article, overall IMO, as a low B. However if the referencing, in particular, was addressed then this would be a B with little question. Agne Cheese/ Wine 22:25, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
