The legendary partnership between Champagne Bollinger and the James Bond franchise is immortalized in the Moonraker 007 Limited Edition. Celebrating the 40th anniversary of the 1979 film Moonraker, where Agent 007 famously spots a bottle of Bollinger, this rare release showcases the exceptional 2007 vintage. True to the house style of Bollinger, this Champagne is crafted primarily from Pinot Noir complemented by Chardonnay, sourced from prestigious Grand and Premier Cru vineyards. Vinified entirely in old oak casks to develop rich complexity and micro-oxygenation, and aged for over a decade on its lees under natural cork, it represents the pinnacle of artisanal Champagne making. The terroir of Ay and the Marne Valley shines through with powerful structure, deep mineral tension, and a signature toasted brioche character.
🍾 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.
