The Bolide, Bottled
Bugatti's Bolide is a track-only hypercar — all violence and speed. Champagne Carbon's EB.03 translates that into a champagne experience: the 2013 vintage was chosen, per CEO Alexandre Mea, for "initial scents of citrus, followed by aromas of spring flowers," growing in intensity toward yellow citrus, toasty notes, and aromatic herbs. The bottle itself is the statement — two carbon-fiber colors for the first time, the Bolide X on both flanks. Shop more champagne or see everything from Carbon at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
Per Carbon: initial citrus scents, then spring flowers, building to yellow citrus, toasty notes, and aromatic herbs with growing intensity. Retailer detail: pale gold with silver reflections; citrus and lemon, white fruits, spring flowers (lily of the valley, honeysuckle, magnolia) on a slightly minty base with minerality; a creamy, velvety texture through the finish with hints of acidity.
How to Enjoy
Well-chilled at 8–10°C in a white-wine glass or flute. Pairings suggested by the house: scallop ceviche, red tuna sashimi, or Saint-Pierre with citrus.
