CHAMPAGNE R.D. EXTRA BRUT
The Extra Brut “R.D.” by Bollinger is one of the most important and well-known Champagne comes from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes, left to refine in the bottle on the lees for at least 10 years.
BOLD AND SPLENDID
- Colour: golden yellow, with a thin perlage
- Scent: bouquet of apple quince and honey, with a toasted final and recalling the nutty and star anise
- Taste: full-bodied and intense, with a powerful drink but always balanced, with nice freshness and minerality, with a very long finish
-Vintage 2008- Exceptional timeless vintage
Bollinger R.D. 2008 is lively and exceptionally complex, taking us on a journey outside time. Hazelnuts, with all their freshness and generosity, are the perfect ingredient to echo a wine of such splendour.
The 2008 vintage is characterised by its remarkable precision and opulence.
The assembly of this 2008 vintage is composed of 71% Pinot Noir and 29% Chardonnay. A total of 18 crus can be find in the blending, mostly Aÿ and Verzenay for Pinot Noir and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Cramant for Chardonnay. The fermentation is entirely in oak barrels. Bollinger R.D. is sold just a few months after being disgorged, with a very low dosage known as “extra brut”, at just 3 grams per litre. The recent disgorgement guarantees the remarkable freshness of the wine.
