✨ Technical Specifications
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of James Bond's cinematic debut, Champagne Bollinger released the highly collectible '002 for 007' limited edition in 2012. The presentation is legendary: a sleek collector's case styled after the silencer of Bond's iconic Walther PPK, which opens via a combination lock (007) to reveal a bottle of Bollinger's exceptional La Grande Année 2002. The relationship between Bollinger and Bond is one of cinema's most enduring partnerships, initiated on screen in 1973's Live and Let Die following a warm personal friendship and handshake agreement between Christian Bizot of Bollinger and producer Cubby Broccoli. The wine inside represents the pinnacle of Bollinger's craftsmanship from the stellar 2002 vintage. Sourced entirely from Grand and Premier Cru vineyards, it was fermented in seasoned oak casks and aged under natural cork for nearly a decade, yielding a Champagne of immense power, structure, and creamy complexity.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1829 in the grand cru village of Aÿ by Hennequin de Villermont, Paul Renaudin, and Jacques Bollinger, Champagne Bollinger stands as one of the most revered and historic family-owned houses in the Champagne region of France. Built upon an unwavering commitment to craftsmanship, the estate is distinguished by its meticulous use of oak barrel fermentation, an on-site cooperage, and extensive cellar aging under natural cork. Pinot Noir forms the powerful, structured backbone of the house style, sourced predominantly from Bollinger's extensive holdings in premier and grand cru vineyards. The house is globally celebrated for its rich and complex cuvées, ranging from the signature Special Cuvée and vintage-dated La Grande Année to the legendary R.D. and the exceptionally rare, ungrafted Vieilles Vignes Françaises.
