The Best Wines to Buy This Holiday Season

Departures featured Champagne Bollinger in a story about the best wines to enjoy and gift this coming holiday season. The writer explains that Bollinger has introduced a Special Cuvée 007 Limited Edition set to commemorate the upcoming release of No Time To Die. Acknowledging that Bollinger has been featured in 14 Bond films to date, this is presumably “his second favorite drink after a shaken martini.” Describing the packaging, he explains the gift box “features imagery of Bond and his Aston Martin, with a bottle of Special Cuvee within to pop during a screening of the film, or any other time you’d like.” Read the full story 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.
