✨ Technical Specifications
The legendary partnership between Champagne Bollinger and James Bond began on screen in 1973's Live and Let Die, born from a handshake agreement of mutual respect between Christian Bizot of Bollinger and producer Cubby Broccoli. This Special Cuvée Brut James Bond 007 limited edition celebrates this cinematic heritage with Bollinger's signature house style. Dominated by Pinot Noir (typically around 60%), alongside Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier, the wine is crafted from grapes harvested primarily in Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards. Bollinger's traditional methods include fermenting a portion of the wines in old oak casks and blending in a high proportion of reserve wines—some of which are aged in magnums under cork for up to 15 years. This meticulous process yields a Champagne of immense depth, characterized by aromas of roasted apples, brioche, and fresh walnuts, backed by a velvety mousse and a structured, powerful finish.
🍾 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.
