To mark the release of the upcoming movie No Time To Die, the 25th instalment of the James Bond series, Bollinger 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 case opens by pushing gently on the bottom of the glass plate, after which the plate opens and the Bollinger bottle slowly comes up a bit.
The bottle is availabe in a 75cl bottle, but will also be released in a larger 1.5L Magnum bottle at a later stage.
The Bollinger 007 Limited Edition is currently in stock at TheWhiskyExchange.com.
About the champagne
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.
Weather: The 2011 vintage was a continental, sunny year with a real winter that was very cold and dry followed by a glorious sun-filled summer and almost no rain in August and September. The harvest was incomparable in terms of quality and produced consistent, fresh and crunchy grapes.
Technical Information:
Grape Varieties: 100% Pinot Noir from Aÿ
Disgorged: Feb 2019
Dosage: 8g/l
Tasting Note: To the eye this has a deep golden colour, demonstrating the wine's maturity. The vintage boasts a refined complexity on the nose, with hints of hazelnut, vanilla and citrus fruits. On the palate, the maturity of this Champagne shines through yet remains fresh and lively, with subtle flavours of plum and honey adding real character.
