    Overview

    Bollinger 007 Limited Edition Millésimé 2011

     
    THE UNIQUE EXPRESSION OF THE 2011 VINTAGE BY BOLLINGER

    Introduction:
    To mark the release of the upcoming movie No Time To Die, the 25th instalment of the James Bond series, the House has created a limited edition wine dedicated to 007, with a 2011 vintage inspired by the world of Bond.
     
    The jet-black 75cl bottle is adorned with the number "25", formed from the titles of the previous films, which are similarly etched on the glass of the wooden box.
     
    The 2011 vintage, an atypical year, inspired Cellar Master to produce a unique champagne, created entirely from Pinot Noir from the Grand Cru village of Aÿ, where the House was first established in 1829. This is the first time that both the vintage and village have been used exclusively by Bollinger to make a dedicated wine. The excellent 2011 harvest in Aÿ, produced complex, powerful and harmonious Pinot Noirs, fully expressed in this characterful wine.
     
    Production:
    Blend: 100% Pinot Noir. A unique cru: Aÿ (Grand cru).
    Exclusive use of the cuvee.
    Fermented entirely in barrels.
     
    Maturation: cellar aged for seven years, sealed with a natural cork.
    Dosage: low, 4 grams per litre.
     
    Tasting Notes:
    To the eye, a golden colour with glints of copper. On the nose, the wine opens with grilled and roasted aromas, followed by hints of honey, hard candy and yellow-fleshed fruits such as the Mirabelle plum.
     
    On the palate: rich notes of stewed fruits are expressed with a beautiful round texture, elevated by a finish of mineral notes evocative of flint.
     
    Serving:
    To fully appreciate its unique style, bouquet and aromas, this wine is best served between 8 and 10°C.
     
    History:
    To celebrate the release of the 25th Bond film, Champagne Bollinger has produced a limited-edition champagne from the 2011 vintage.
    This exceptional year inspired the Cellar Master to create a unique champagne made exclusively from the Pinot Noir of the village of Aÿ.
     
    This is the first time that Bollinger has created a cuvée solely from this historic cru, where the House has been based since its creation in 1829. The extraordinary harvest of 2011 led to the creation of Pinot Noir which is complex, powerful and harmonious, celebrated in this wine of great character.
     
    2019 marks a milestone in the exclusive partnership between Champagne Bollinger & James Bond
    Champagne Bollinger is celebrating its 40th year in partnership with James Bond with the launch of two wines: a £4,500 Moonraker Magnum and Eric Berthes-designed gift box and a No Time To Die-inspired bottle.
     
    The first bottle of Bollinger appeared alongside 007 in 1979 with the release of Moonraker. Since then, the association has gone on to inspire numerous limited edition products, with the Bollinger cooperage also home to a collection of vintage Bond posters.
    To mark the 2019 milestone, the Champagne house has released two wines, one inspired by the 1979 film and the other by the latest in the Bond franchise -No Time To Die -which will be released next year.

    The Bollinger Tribute to Moonraker Luxury Limited Edition is inspired by the space-themed film, the eleventh to be produced and the fourth to star Roger Moore. Based on the space shuttle, which Bond was sent to investigate the theft of, Bollinger enlisted designer Eric Berthes to re-imagine the craft originally created by production and set designer Ken Adam.

    Bollinger's shuttle is made from pewter and wood veneer, which opens to reveal a Saint Louis crystal ice bucket and a magnum of Bollinger 2007.
    Each gift box is individually numbered with a total of 407 shuttles made, which will retail for £4,500.

    The second wine is the Bollinger 007 Limited Edition Millésimé 2011, which pays tribute to the 25th film in the James Bond franchise. The black bottle is adorned with the number 25, which is made using titles from the previous films, which are also etched onto the glass on the front of the wooden display box. The 2011 vintage wine is made entirely from Pinot Noir sourced from Aÿ.

    Commenting on the milestone, Etienne Bizot, CEO of Société Jacques Bollinger, said: "It brings me an immense amount of pride to be celebrating 40 years of partnership between Bollinger and James Bond, it is a testament to the friendship started in 1979, between my father Christian Bizot and James Bond producer Cubby Broccoli.A friendship based on our shared values such as excellence and elegance."
