Philippe Newlin, Wine Educator and Wine Enthusiast, led an entertaining adventure exploring the wines of Bordeaux as seen through the lens of James Bond, a man who knows his claret all too well.
.
This entertaining and educational journey through the renowned Bordeaux wine region showcased the artistry of winemaking alongside the iconic character of James Bond. We traveled from the beautiful Margaux region, known for its elegance, to Saint-Julien, Pauillac and St-Estèphe known for their focus on depth, energy and precision. Then we crossed the rivers to find St-Émilion and Pomerol, two places where the wines are lusher, rounder and velvety in texture. Just like the actors who have portrayed this iconic character.

Your senses, sounds and visions exploded with tastes as we sampled these fine wines, listened to the legendary James Bond soundtrack and viewed movie clips to round out the sensory experience.
The event opened with a glass of Bollinger Champagne Special Cuvée N.V. – 007’s signature Champagne throughout the years.
