Owning a Bugatti isn’t just about enjoying one of the greatest cars ever made. It’s about enjoying your time and money as best you can, and within that goal, Bugatti creates everything and anything you might desire, from LEGO models to Lalique glass statues. The latest non-vehicular Bugatti collaboration is with the winemaker Champagne Carbon called the EB.03 Edition, featuring a two-tone carbon fiber bottle inspired by the Bugatti Bolide track car.
This is the third time Bugatti has worked with Champagne Carbon, with the first to celebrate Bugatti’s 110th anniversary, while the next was to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the speed record set by the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+. This year Bugatti has taken inspiration from the Bolide, with the X motif from the car featured in the design of the bottle, as has the striking blue and black colour combination.
Inside the Bugatti x Champagne Carbon EB.03 Edition is a vintage 2013 Blanc de Blancs, the grapes of which were born in a cold and wet winter that saw a late harvest. A special champagne vintage for a very special Bugatti.

“The Bugatti Bolide is one of the most special creations to ever have been imagined by our designers and engineers in Molsheim, bringing new levels of innovation and performance to the world of production cars,” explained Wiebke Ståhl, Managing Director at Bugatti International.
“Like any Bugatti, it is incomparable, and we challenged our partners at Champagne Carbon to create something equally unique in celebration. What they have delivered is a perfect pairing for Bolide; beautiful, rare and with an edgy intensity.”
Unsurprisingly, Alexandre Mea the CEO of Champagne Carbon, was even more enthusiastic about the wine, expressing that the, “2013 vintage brings with it initial scents of citrus, followed by aromas of spring flowers.”
“Then a growing intensity toward yellow citrus, toasty notes and aromatic herbs. On the palate, it provides an initial intensity, followed by a creamier more velvety texture. The finish reveals hints of acidity. The ƎB.03 will enhance a delicate recipe such as scallop ceviche, red tuna sashimi or a filet of Saint-Pierre with citrus fruits.”
Bugatti hasn’t offered word on how much a bottle of the Bugatti x Champagne Carbon EB.03 Edition will set you back, but it’s unlikely to be cheap.
