- Champagne Bollinger is celebrating the 60th anniversary of Goldfinger with a special 007-themed release.
- Aside from a magnum of 2007 Bollinger, this comes with everything from a bespoke ‘Air Cabin’ carry case to custom tulip glasses.
- Limited to 200 units, available from late October 2024.
In the latest chapter of a partnership that extends all the way back to the release of Live and Let Die (1973), Champagne Bollinger is once again unveiling a 007-themed collectible — dedicated, in 2024, to the 60th anniversary of Goldfinger.
Clad in burnished golden packaging (fit for Bond’s midas-obsessed antagonist Auric Goldfinger) this limited edition Bolly will be available later in October, in a run of 200 numbered units.

In each Goldfinger-themed package, collectors will find a magnum of 2007 Bollinger — a blend that’s distinct from the same vintage of La Grande Année — along with a range of accessories that are, in the words of Bollinger MD Charles-Armand de Belenet, “as spectacular and elegant as [007] himself.”
To recap: this includes a bespoke ‘Air Cabin’ carrying case from beloved British suitcase maker Globe-Trotter, and a quartet of tulip glasses signed with the Bollinger 007 livery.

In an industry as rife with pop culture tie-ins as the fine wine & spirits trade, Bollinger’s multi-decade alliance with the James Bond franchise is an exceptional one.
Its origins are jarringly informal: sealed with a handshake between the Bollinger Maison and Broccoli family in 1978 (who have owned the film rights to Ian Fleming’s iconic English superspy since the 1960s).
To this day, neither party’s involvement is caveated upon the exchange of money or any formal contractual terms; and this has led to an array of collectible Champagne releases — many of which (such as the Goldfinger limited edition) make use of Bollinger’s dynamic 2007 vintage.
