Bollinger James Bond Special Cuvee 007 Limited Edition 0.75

Region : Champagne       In celebration of over 40 years of partnership as the Official Champagne of 007 and the upcoming film No time to Die. Champagne Bollinger has produced a limited edition gift box that brings together three icons: Bollinger’s signature Special Cuvée, the Aston Martin DB5 and the legendary British secret agent James Bond. Honouring the most perfect of partnerships, the limited edition gift box features the silhouette of James Bond alongside his Aston Martin DB5. The colourway of the gift box echoes the silver birch finish of the DB5. The Bollinger lettering and logos are depicted in gold and the iconic Special Cuvee bottle has been adapted to feature a black and gold neck collar with 007 blazon. Champagne Bollinger worked with celebrated photographer Greg Williams, for the soon to be released Special Cuvee 007 Limited Edition campaign, featuring his signature cinematic style that also appears in the No Time to die campaign. Bond, Bollinger and Aston Martin all return in No time to die.       Grape varieties : Chardonnay, Pinot Noir & Meunier       Tasting notes :        The Special Cuvee represents the best expression of the Bollinger style. The entire know-how of the Maison Bollinger embodies every year a top Champagne, with style and persistent qualities, in unique assemblages – balanced in their roundness, vinousity and elegance. The Maison Bollinger bases its diversity and qualitative choices on this wine and it is willing to be tested. The assemblage is 60% Pinot Noir (35% from Aÿ), granting vinousity and complexity, 25% Chardonnay, adding fineness and elegance, as well as 15% Meunier, bringing freshness and elegance. The grapes come from their 80% from Grand and Premier Crus territories; for Pinot Noir: Aÿ, Tauxiers, Verzenay, and Louvois; for Chardonnay: Le Mesnil sur Oger, Oger, Cuis and Grauves. To maintain quality and style, the Maison adds 5 to 10 % vins de reserve, which firstly fermented in oak barrels and later conserved according to cru, vine and vintage, from 5 to 12 years in magnum with cork caps. The Special Cuvee rests on yeasts for at least 3 years before disgorging: this is a longer period than the time requested by the guidelines (15 months). It also rests in the cave for at least 3 months before shipping.
