✨ Technical Specifications
The Bollinger James Bond 007 Millésimé is a celebration of one of cinema's most enduring partnerships, established in 1979 with a legendary handshake agreement between Christian Bizot of Bollinger and Bond producer Albert R. 'Cubby' Broccoli. Released to mark specific milestones and film premieres, this exclusive vintage Champagne embodies the sophisticated and bold character of both the secret agent and the historic house of Aÿ. Crafted predominantly from Pinot Noir sourced from Grand Cru vineyards, the wine is fermented in seasoned oak casks and aged extensively on its lees under natural cork. This traditional, meticulous craftsmanship yields a Champagne of remarkable depth, structure, and complexity, characterized by rich aromas of toasted brioche, honeyed stone fruits, and a refined, creamy mousse.
🍾 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.
