About this bottle

The Bollinger Brut Special Cuvée 007 Limited Edition is the house's regular champagne in a version themed around James Bond. Bollinger has appeared in the Bond films since the seventies, and the house regularly releases special 007 bottles. The bottle contains the Special Cuvée: well over half pinot noir, a quarter chardonnay and the rest meunier, with reserve wines that have matured in magnums for five to fifteen years. The label states 12% vol.

Bollinger is based in Aÿ, a grand cru village in the Vallée de la Marne, the part of Champagne known above all for pinot noir. The house owns about 160 hectares of vineyards, good for more than half of the grapes it needs. These lie largely in communes with grand cru or premier cru status. Bollinger is one of the few champagne houses that are still independent.

Wine house description: To produce a great Champagne, great wines must first be made. A great wine can only come from the best grapes. Bollinger has acted in this spirit for more than 175 years. More than 80% of the grapes (pinot noir and chardonnay) come from its own vineyards, situated exclusively in Grand or Premier Cru villages. After the harvest the first fermentation (separately per grape variety, per vineyard) takes place in wooden casks (from Burgundy).

Een kostbaar proces, maar een essentieel onderdeel bij Champagne Bollinger. Het bedrijf is nog steeds in handen van de familie, die ervoor zorgt dat de unieke stijl van dit champagnehuis gewaarborgd blijft.

Vinification The Special Cuvée (60% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Meunier) is a unique creation and is the flagship of the house of Bollinger. Year after year the Special Cuvée is consistent in taste in the distinctive, powerful Bollinger style. More than 65% of the grapes come from its own vineyards.

Herkomst Het Champagnegebied is een uitgestrekt gebied rondom Reims. Het wijngebied, in de prehistorie een binnenzee, wordt gekarakteriseerd door een speciale kalkbodem die bestaat uit fossielen van zeedieren die toen in deze binnenzee leefden. Door de noordelijke ligging van het gebied worden de Champagnes altijd getypeerd door een zekere frisheid.

Why this works together

Gekozen op de kleur (mousserend), de druif (chardonnay), het land van herkomst (Frankrijk), het alcoholpercentage (12%) en de tonen van hout en peer in de omschrijving. Chardonnay zonder hout gaat naar schaaldieren, chardonnay met hout naar gevogelte en room.

Serve at 6 to 8 °C.

What is needed

For 4 people

HoofdgerechtKreeft met beurre blanc

Ingredients

2 kreeften van ongeveer 600 gram
2 shallots
100 millilitres of dry white wine
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
200 gram koude roomboter
1 lemon
salt and white pepper

Method

Breng een grote pan ruim gezouten water aan de kook en kook de kreeften 8 tot 10 minuten.
Laat ze kort afkoelen, halveer ze in de lengte en verwijder het darmkanaal en de maag.
Snipper de sjalotten fijn en kook ze met de witte wijn en de wijnazijn in tot er een paar eetlepels vocht over zijn.
Klop op laag vuur de koude roomboter in blokjes er beetje bij beetje door tot een gebonden saus, zonder te laten koken.
Season the sauce with a dash of lemon juice, salt and white pepper and spoon it over the lobster.

With the cheeseBrie de Meaux

Ingredients

160 grams of Brie de Meaux

Method

Take the cheese out of the fridge about an hour before serving; that brings out the flavour best.
Only cut or break the cheese just before serving.

Before the meal or with drinksParma ham with melon

Ingredients

120 grams of Parma ham
1 melon

Method

Chill the melon and take the ham out of the fridge 20 minutes before serving.
Halve the melon, remove the seeds and cut it into wedges without the rind.
Arrange the wedges on a platter and drape the slices of ham over or beside them.
