Introducing the launch, Charles Armand de Belenet, managing director of Champagne Bollinger, paid tribute to the history of the house – still owned by the same family ever since its founding in 1829 – and to its famous director, Madame Lily Bollinger, who led the house from 1941 to 1971. She was the creator of the famous RD and the Vieilles Vignes Francaises wines – two of the most famous prestige cuvées of Champagne.
