Exclusive: Vintus And Champagne Bollinger Form Partnership In U.S. Market
April 6, 2015Pleasantville, New York-based fine wine importer Vintus and Champagne Bollinger have entered into a long-term distribution agreement for the U.S market, effective May 1. Vintus and Champagne Bollinger are already affiliated in the U.S., as the importer currently handles Bollinger-owned Champagne Ayala in the market.
“While Vintus is a young company (founded in 2004 by former Kobrand executive Michael Quinttus), we’re convinced that it’s the best partner for the future of Champagne Bollinger in the U.S.,” said Bollinger CEO Jérôme Philipon in a statement.
Bollinger, which has been imported by Terlato Wines, is well-known for its long affiliation with the James Bond film series, having been featured in nearly all of the popular 007 movies over the past four decades. The brand currently sells around 25,000 cases annually in the U.S.
