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.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Founded in 1829 in the historic village of Aÿ by Jacques Bollinger, Paul Renaudin, and Hennequin de Villermont, Champagne Bollinger is one of the region's most prestigious and fiercely independent family-owned houses. Renowned for its Pinot Noir-dominated blends and traditional production methods, Bollinger uniquely ferments its vintage wines in seasoned oak casks and maintains an extensive library of reserve wines aged in magnums under cork. The house's signature style is defined by its rich complexity, structure, and depth, best exemplified by legendary cuvées like Special Cuvée, La Grande Année, and the late-disgorged R.D. Additionally, Bollinger preserves a rare piece of viticultural history with its ungrafted, pre-phylloxera Pinot Noir vines used to produce the ultra-exclusive Vieilles Vignes Françaises.
