✨ Technical Specifications
Bollinger's legendary relationship with the cinematic world of James Bond dates back to 1979's Moonraker, establishing a partnership built on shared values of elegance and character. To celebrate the 24th Bond film, Spectre, Bollinger released this exclusive Millésime. Sourced entirely from Grand and Premier Cru vineyards—with Pinot Noir primarily from Aÿ and Verzenay, and Chardonnay from Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oger—the wine was vinified in old oak casks to enhance its structural complexity. This cuvée represents a refined expression of the 2009 vintage, showcasing Bollinger's traditional craftsmanship, rich texture, and a vibrant, lingering finish, housed in a sleek, insulated presentation case inspired by 007's classic tuxedo.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1829 in Aÿ by Hennequin de Villermont, Paul Renaudin, and Jacques Bollinger, Maison Bollinger endures as one of Champagne's preeminent independent, family-owned Grandes Marques. Its identity was indelibly forged under the visionary stewardship of Madame Lily Bollinger in the mid-twentieth century. The estate controls approximately 180 hectares of vineyards, dominated by Grand and Premier Cru parcels across the Montagne de Reims and Vallée de la Marne, rooted in deep Belemnite chalk and limestone. Bollinger is celebrated for its Pinot Noir-centric architectural style, championing vinification in seasoned oak barrels, magnum reserve aging under natural cork, and extensive cellar maturation before disgorgement. The portfolio is epitomized by Special Cuvée and La Grande Année, reaching transcendental complexity in R.D. (Récemment Dégorgé) and the elusive Vieilles Vignes Françaises, produced from ungrafted, pre-phylloxera vines trained en foule.
