Carbon Champagne Bugatti EB.01
Carbon Champagne Bugatti EB.01 is where the partnership began — a 2002 vintage champagne of 90% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Noir Grand Cru, 12% ABV, 750mL, disgorged in 2018 after roughly 16 years of aging, presented in the signature blue-tinted triple-layered carbon-fiber bottle. Created in 2019 to celebrate Bugatti's 110th anniversary — the partnership formalized at Bugatti HQ in Molsheim, France — it has up to 25 years of aging potential and creamy notes of almonds, butter, honey, coffee, and nuts. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

110 Years of Bugatti, 16 Years in the Cellar
The EB.01 launched the Carbon × Bugatti story in 2019 for the marque's 110th birthday — two French luxury houses (both headquartered in the Grand Est region) sealing a partnership at Bugatti's Molsheim headquarters. The liquid honors the occasion's scale: a 2002 vintage, Grand Cru grapes, and roughly 16 years of cellaring before disgorgement in 2018 — a precision-to-creamy-maturity arc.

Tasting Notes
Retailer detail: creamy (pluimen, romig) with almonds, butter, honey, coffee, and nuts; "the mouth is precise, broad and balanced; a fine harmony between very fresh aromas (thanks to Chardonnay) and more complex ones from the aging process."
How to Enjoy
Chilled at 8–10°C. Its creamy maturity suits rich dishes — lobster, roast chicken, or simply well-chilled in the bottle it arrived in.
