One of the great Champagne houses, Bollinger is particularly notable for the elegance of its pinot noir.  The wines are powerful, refined and complex in style, expressing the aromas of the fruit in all its dimensions.  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).

"Bollinger's 2009 Millésime Edition Limitée 007 has a very clear, fine and fruity bouquet that reflects a perfect blend of Grands Crus dressed with Pinot Noir (68%) and Chardonnay (32%). Fermented in small used barrels and disgorged in February 2014, the 2009 is very elegant, intense and balanced on the palate; it reveals a remarkable finesse with fine pearls and sweet cherry-flavored fruit. Its finish is well structured and quite powerful and fruity, though it keeps the elegant style. Could be drier for Bond, though that's for the girls, isn't it?" The Wine Advocate, March 2016
