Bollinger Vieilles Vignes Francaises 1999 1750

A unique phenomenon, Vieilles Vignes Françaises is produced with grapes coming from threevery small pieces of land of Grand Cru which amount to just under 0.6 hectares (1,4 acres) :“Chaudes Terres” in Aÿ (0.6 acre), “Clos St-Jacques” in Aÿ (0.5 acre) and “Croix Rouge” inBouzy (0.3 acre).These were unaffected by the phylloxera, which destroyed all the Champagne vineyards atthe end of the 19th century.“Les Vieilles Vignes Françaises” miraculously escaped the devastation and therefore were notre-grafted. They continue to be planted “en foule”, in the historic, layered, self-propagatingmethod and thus perpetuate what can be called the “remains of the days” of the Champagneregion.Vieilles Vignes Francaises are among the rarest and most exclusive champagne, only made inspecial declared vintages and only 3000 bottles are made.
