VinePair featured the release of the Champagne Bollinger Special Cuvée 007 Limited Edition. The story offers background on Bollinger’s 40+ year partnership with the Broccoli family, producer’s of the James Bond franchise, as well as details on the bottle.
The writer notes, “since 1829, Bollinger Champagne House has been producing champagne with a “powerful, sophisticated style.” The latest bottle release captures these same traits of the famous fictional spy, designed by Bond photographer Greg Williams. Each gift box features a silhouette of Bond standing beside his classic Aston Martin DB5.”

Champagne
Special Cuvée is a Champagne that defies category. Pinot Noir, the most demanding grape in the region, makes up at least 60 percent of the blend, giving structure, depth and signature red fruit. One-third is fermented in oak barrels, adding silkier texture and layered flavor. Reserve wines aged in magnums under cork for up to 15 years are hand disgorged into the blend, bringing richness and complexity. Aged much longer than most Champagnes, Special Cuvée offers freshness, savory nuance and velvety texture. It is a true expression of Bollinger’s devotion at every step.

Bollinger is one of the rare Grande Marques that’s still family owned. Known for its rich, elegant and polished style of Champagne, their outstanding wines are the result of rigorous attention to detail and incredibly labor-intensive practices that few houses are willing to undertake. Underscoring its excellence, Bollinger has remained British secret agent James Bond's Champagne of choice since 1973.
