Bollinger first appeared in Vivre et Laisser Mourir in 1973. The 1978 meeting between Albert R. “Cubby” Broccoli, one of the producers of the James Bond film saga, and Christian Bizot, then General Manager of Maison Bollinger, was to lead to a friendship between the two families that has never been denied. An obvious and natural association between these two myths who share a number of values, such as excellence, character and elegance. Since then, Champagne Bollinger has been James Bond’s champagne, a key element in his sparkling seduction of women and a symbol of his “so British” refinement.
To celebrate the release of the 24th James Bond opus, Champagne Bollinger is launching a new limited edition bottle, inspired by the style and refinement of the Bond world.
The limited edition contains a unique Bollinger cuvée, a 2009 vintage, dedicated exclusively to the celebration of this partnership. The bottle is nestled in a limited-edition refrigerated box designed by Carré Basset, which keeps the bottle fresh for 2 hours after chilling. The box, with its innovative design, was made entirely of metal by Virojanglor. The launch of the limited edition marks the continuation of a long-standing partnership between EON Productions, producer of the Bond franchise, and the House of Bollinger. Bollinger has appeared in 14 Bond films. It has been the exclusive champagne since Moonraker in 1979.
“Our limited edition is a unique opportunity to discover Bollinger’s rare expression of the 2009 vintage, presented in an innovative box inspired by the legendary elegance of Agent 007”
Jérôme Philipon, President of Champagne Bollinger
The limited edition Bollinger SPECTRE is available from leading wine merchants for €170.
Spectre will be released in cinemas on November 11, 2015.
Designer Eric Berthès imagined and designed the “Bollinger Crystal Set”. He wanted it to be like a case for a true nectar, Bollinger R.D. 1988. A rare, unrivalled champagne that ages on its lees for exceptional aromatic complexity and length on the palate. The magnum of Bollinger R.D. 1988 is sublimely encased in Saint Louis crystal. The base features 007’s emblematic focal point, while the top of the pewter collar, signed ” “, is embossed with the octopus’s initials, the Spectre! A collector’s item, this sublime rafraichissoir is limited to 307 numbered pieces.
The “Bollinger Crystal Set” 007 is on sale at a number of leading wine merchants at an average retail price of 6007 euros, and in Saint-Louis boutiques in Paris, London, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Taipei.
