Leader’s Edge published a story encouraging readers to honor the legacy of the inimitable Sean Connery with a glass of Bollinger, Secret Agent 007’s favorite Champagne. While the award-winning actor had a career spanning several decades, he will be remembered most for his iconic portrayal of James Bond. Despite being known for drinking martinis “shaken not stirred,” Bollinger is mentioned 17 times throughout the span of Bond films making it the perfect choice for a commemorative toast..
The writer offers historical and stylistic background on Bollinger before suggesting readers seek out “a non-vintage pure Pinot Noir Champagne called Bollinger PN VZ15, the first permanent addition to the range since 2008.” The story further describes the wine as an “aromatic bomb.” Read the full story HERE

Bollinger is one of the rare Grande Marques that’s still family owned. Known for its rich, elegant and polished style of Champagne, their outstanding wines are the result of rigorous attention to detail and incredibly labor-intensive practices that few houses are willing to undertake. Underscoring its excellence, Bollinger has remained British secret agent James Bond's Champagne of choice since 1973.
