Bollinger Tribute to Moonraker Luxury Limited Edition

Champagne Bollinger is celebrating its 40th year in partnership with James Bond with the launch of two special editions: the Moonraker 2007 magnum in a unique Eric Berthes-designed gift box, and a 2011 Millésimé.

The Bond and Bollinger partnership began with the movie Moonraker, released forty years ago, in 1979.

Champagne Bollinger appeared on screen with the release of Moonraker, becoming the Official Champagne for the famous British secret agent. The partnership has evolved over the years and is now a recognisable part of the legacy of both brands.

In the film, a bottle of Bollnger champagne can be seen in a cooler with Bollinger written on it, in the Apollo Airways airplane that crashes in the pre-title sequence. In Holly Goodhead's room in Hotel Danieli in Venice, another bottle of champagne in a Bollinger cooler can be seen. Bond says "Bollinger! If it's '69 you were expecting me!". In the last sequence of the film, Jaws and his girlfriend Dolly drink Bollinger Tradition R.D. (possibly a 1973 vintage) in the exploding space station (read more about Bollinger in other James Bond films).

Etienne Bizot, Société Jacques Bollinger CEO: "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."

Each numbered piece has been crafted and finished by hand, making it unique.
