Champagne Bollinger Maison Fondee En 1829

CHAMPAGNE BOLLINGER AND JAMES BOND,
A LEGENDARY COLLABORATION FOR FOUR DECADES

Champagne Bollinger appeared for the very first time alongside James Bond in the novel by Ian Fleming Diamonds Are Forever published in 1956: Her Majesty’s secret servant could only choose the most British of all champagnes! 

When in 1973 Albert R. “Cubby” Broccoli, one of the producers of the James Bond saga on screen met Christian Bizot, then President of Maison Bollinger, there began a lasting and unfailing friendship between the two families, which naturally led to a comfortable partnership between these two legendary figures who have a number of values in common: excellence, authenticity, a certain elegance, and even a touch of British composure.

For 40 years on screen, Bollinger, the champagne with an inimitable, uncompromising style, has been James Bond’s champagne, a key element in his seductive appeal to the fair sex and a symbol of his oh so British wit and sophistication.

“Bollinger? If it is a ‘69, you were expecting me.” - Moonraker, 1979

In 2008 on the occasion of the release of Quantum of Solace, Champagne Bollinger had created a memorable collector’s item designed by French designer Eric Berthes: a luxury box in the shape of a 65 cm long bullet of Walther PPK containing a magnum of  Bollinger La Grande Année 1999 dressed in black and silver.

The inside of the bullet converted into a set of compartments in which a modern gentleman can store his personal accessories..Only 207 copies, each individually numbered, were produced.
