The icon of world cinema also had a dedicated wine, produced by the Besserat de Bellefon maison, and had launched its Provençal rosés.

"BB" like Brigitte Bardot's Champagne, produced by the prestigious Épernay maison Besserat de Bellefon which, in common with the great French actress, had precisely those legendary initials of the name, which appeared, for the first time, on the cover of the magazine "Elle" when she was only 15 years old. Even the icon of world cinema and female emancipation, muse and sex symbol, who passed away in recent days, had, in fact, a dedicated wine, in perfect "bardolâtrie" and French style, ça va san dire, for one of the national faces of France, which also ended up on French coins, which was worth as much as Renault exports, and which said "ma vie a été remplie de bulles de Champagne".

Protagonist of over 50 films, including the masterpieces of the Nouvelle Vague, signed by directors of the caliber of Jean-Luc Godard and Henri Georges Léon Clouzot, singer and "modern Lolita" according to Simone de Beauvoir, at the height of his career he had abandoned everything for the Brigitte Bardot Foundation in defense of animals and the planet. And he had done it from Saint-Tropez, in the heart of Provence and the Côte d'Azur, which he had made famous since the fifties, and from where he had also launched his rosé wines, an AOP Côtes de Provence and an IGP Méditerranée produced with Ravoire et Fils (as the French media in the sector recall these days), a tribute to a region loved by Brigitte Bardot and to the timeless elegance of the star. And where she will be buried, in the cemetery overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, as a true diva.
