Champagne Bollinger's legendary relationship with the world's most famous secret agent, James Bond, dates back to 1979 when it first appeared in Moonraker, establishing a cinematic partnership built on shared values of elegance, heritage, and character. To mark the release of the 24th Bond film, Spectre, Bollinger crafted this exclusive Millésime from the exceptional 2009 vintage. This cuvée is a masterclass in Bollinger's signature style, dominated by Pinot Noir (68%) sourced from prestigious Grand and Premier Crus such as Aÿ and Verzenay, blended with Chardonnay (32%). Vinified in historic oak casks and aged under natural cork to develop deep complexity, this Champagne offers a rich, muscular structure, boasting notes of toasted brioche, stewed stone fruits, and a refined mineral precision that honors both the house's heritage and the sophisticated legacy of 007.

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.
