“Bollinger? If it’s ’69, you were expecting me.”

Widely acknowledged as one of the world’s finest champagnes, it is no surprise that James Bond is partial to this tipple. Champagne Bollinger has featured in almost every Bond classic, receiving its first mention in the 1956 novel Diamonds Are Forever when Tiffany Case sends a bottle up to Bond’s cabin on the Queen Elizabeth.

Covering 164ha of prized vineyards, Bollinger is one of the few remaining independent family owned Champagne houses. Their distinctive style is the product of rigorous methods and time-honoured traditions passed down through the generations: a symbol of history and expertise.

The Special Cuvée is meticulously crafted from a Pinot Noir dominant blend of harvest grapes and reserve wines. Dry and creamy, the delicate bubbles complement the toasted brioche, honey and rich fruitiness of the wine.

Drinking window: 2024 - 2035

What the critics say:

93/100James Suckling

"Lovely density and a fine-bubble texture. Dried apple and apricot with hints of dried flowers. Medium to full body. with medium-rich fruit. Spice, zest and ginger character. Usually 10% in barrel. 60% pinot noir, 25% chardonnay and 15% pinot meunier. About 40% reserve wine kept in magnums. Always really well done. Drink now. (July-2023)"

92/100William Kelley, Wine Advocate

"Like its rosé counterpart, the latest release of Bollinger's NV Brut Special Cuvée is showing especially well, bursting from the glass with aromas of honeyed apples, crisp stone fruit, buttery pastry, ripe lemons and fresh walnuts. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and vinous, with a deep core of beautifully ripe fruit, racy acids and a pillowy mousse, it's a charming, characterful wine that proves that Special Cuvée is firmly back where it belongs."
