The Miami Herald’s luxury INDULGE publication selected Champagne Bollinger Special Cuveé 007 Limited Edition as one of the best gifts to give – especially if you have a secret agent or someone with incredibly good taste in wine in your life.
The recommendation offers historical background, explaining that “ever since Roger Moore ordered Champagne Bollinger on-screen in 1973’s Live and Let Die, the bubbly (or “Bolly,” as the Brits call it) has been featured in 14 James Bond films, making the spy and sparkler collaboration one of the longest and most successful of its kind.”
Poking fun at the current situation, the writer adds that this limited edition “is available for your loved one to sip while they ponder their next mission (tackling 2021). Favorite Bond actor or Bond girl not included.” See the full gift guide HERE

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.
