2008 Bollinger La Grande Année - The Best Ever

In 2022, champagne guru Richard Juhlin has tasted the 2008 Bollinger Grande Année again, and he maintains his impressive score of 96 points. However, he puts a new, albeit deserved, punctuation mark on his rating with the phrase:

”Buy a case and follow its aromatic journey to heaven.”

And it is not surprising that a 2008 vintage Champagne brings heavenly associations. The 2008 vintage in Champagne has become a reference vintage because of its sky-high level. So whether you believe in heaven or not, you get the message.

This is your opportunity to invest in 2008 Champagne. Even the best Grande Année - ever. So if you do not yet have 2008 Bollinger Grande Année in your portfolio, this is an obvious opportunity. If you are one of those who have already invested in it, here is your chance to supplement...

Read along to learn more about the potential of the best champagnes from the 2008 vintage, how our 2008 recommendations have performed so far, and what the future holds.

You Obviously Know Bollinger, But....

A short introduction is in order anyway. The Champagne House of Bollinger dates back to 1585, and the first centuries of the house's life were spent out of the world's spotlight. That was about to change, however, when Emily Law de Lauriston Boubers (Lily Bollinger) devoted herself to promoting the champagne house.

She married into the Bollinger family, and after her husband's death in 1942, she began her journey around the world to promote Bollinger - and succeeded. The eyes of the world landed at Bollinger, and there they rest to this day.

They do, of course, because Bollinger is synonymous with quality. And they do so, of course, because quality is backed up by competent marketing launched by Lily Bollinger - and completed by James Bond, who in recent Bond films enjoys Bollinger as his absolute favourite champagne. Add to that the fact that Bollinger has been a supplier to the British royal family since 1884.

The key to success is quality and marketing.

That the 2008 Bollinger Grande Année is the best ever is also reflected in the price increases it has seen in the first years of its life. Since RareWine Invest was first able to offer 2008 Bollinger La Grande Année for investment in September 2019, the price has risen 105.6%, to the delight of all those who followed the recommendation at the time. Add to this the fact that since June 2020, all Bollinger la Grande Année under management by RareWine Invest has risen by an average of 58.4%*

The Bollinger brand is inherently sought-after, and the demand for the 2008 Bollinger Grande Année is obviously due to the consignor. But it's also due to its position as the best and 2008 prefix that the world's champagne lovers covet.

Is It Too Late To Board The Flight To Heaven?

Although the above figures show that 2008 investors have seen great returns in a short time, it does not appear that it is too late to place your investment in the famous 2008 drops and the current 2008 Bollinger Grande Année. Quite the opposite in fact.

The wine is still young and, as already mentioned, history cements that the biggest price increases are seen in the long term.

Furthermore, the 2008 vintage also dominates the Champagne trade on the secondary market. In May 2022, according to Liv-ex, 2008 Champagnes were the most traded vintage. Furthermore, the 2008 vintage has been the most traded in 2022 and accounts for 18% of the total trade in Champagne. 2008 Champagnes have thus generously contributed to the Champagne 50 sub-index rising 50.6% over the past year.
