Champagne Bollinger R.D. 2008 - Wooden Case

Champagne - Champagne - Brut -

Chis unique cuvée will be named Bollinger R.D. for "Récemment Dégorgé" and its label will be the first in history to display a disgorgement date. Each bottle will be available in a single wooden case.

Over time, the 2008 has revealed its great aromatic potential and extraordinary brilliance. The maturation period is extremely long, more than four times longer than the rules of the appellation. Bollinger R.D. is marketed just a few months after disgorgement, a guarantee of the wine's remarkable freshness.

Deep, brilliant gold in colour, the nose opens with stewed, dried fruit and hints of sweet spices, followed by notes of mirabelle plum and candied orange. Intense, generous flavours of candied fruit and tarte tatin are expressed in a full, harmonious palate.

Blend of 71% Pinot noir and 29% Chardonnay, from a selection of 14 crus, 91% of which are Grands Crus and 9% Premiers Crus, Bollinger R.D. is above all a Grande Année that has matured in the cellars for over ten years.

The advice of 12bouteilles: To highlight its unique style, we advise you to serve Bollinger R.D. around 8 ° C. You can taste Bollinger R.D. within one year after the date of disgorgement; or let it reach another phase of aging. Bollinger R.D. sublimates the most refined dishes, such as rosé pigeon or roasted scallops.
