1975 Bollinger Brut Vintage
Bollinger has been 007's Champagne of choice since its first mention in Ian Fleming's novel 'Diamonds are Forever' (1956), since then featuring in fourteen films and every Bond film since Roger Moore first drank a bottle in 'Live and Let Die' (1973). Few appearances are more memorable than in "A View to a Kill". Roger Moore’s Bond is seen enjoying Bollinger 1975 throughout the film, most notably during the lavish scenes at Max Zorin’s château, where the Champagne flows freely.
"My last bottle of Bollinger's 1975 Brut Vintage was also my best, bursting from the glass with aromas of buttered orchard fruit, toasted brioche, honeycomb, dried orange rind and smoke. Deep, layered and full-bodied, it's vinous and concentrated, with racy acids, terrific mid-palate amplitude and a more-than-vestigial mousse. Penetrating and incisive, it's long and saline. Drink 1995-2025." William Kelley, The Wine Advocate, April 2021
