Time, Rarity, Boldness

This is the result of Madame Bollinger’s great vision: an expert wine with aromas enhanced by its exceptionally long maturation, it will last forever.

James Bond’s favourite champagne.

Production :

Blend of the 2004 vintage

60% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay

23 crus: mainly Aÿ, Verzenay, Bouzy and Tauxières for the Pinot Noir,

Cramant, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger and Cuis for the Chardonnay - 71% Grands crus and 29% Premiers crus.

Exclusive use of the cuvee. Fermented entirely in barrels.

Only the very best among vintage champagnes become Bollinger R.D.: 2004 is definitely one of the most promising vintages of the last decade

Maturation

A very long maturation, more than three times longer than required by the appellation, for an infinite array of flavours: a true wine alchemy

Dosage

Very low: "Extra Brut"", 3 to 4 grams per liter

Sensations :

To the eye

Golden with subtle highlights.

To the nose

Aromas of stewed ripe fruit, particularly quince, but also a discreet note of honey. These are followed by roasted notes and cocoa, which give way to flavours of star anise and nutmeg.

On the palate

Full-bodied attack. Powerful but well-balanced, with persistent flavour. Mineral finish with touches of lemon revealing a pleasing bitterness.

Pairings :

All types of risotto, especially mushrooms or truffle risotto
Venison
Old Comté or Swiss Gruyère

Our Advice :

Bollinger R.D. will enhance all gourmet cuisine but its aura is such that it creates a special occasion on its own. Offering it as a gift is a sign of a great friendship.
In order to fully appreciate its unique style, bouquet and aromas, it is best served between 8 and 10°C, or more.
Bollinger R.D. can be enjoyed right away to appreciate the exceptional freshness due to its recent disgorging; you may also choose to let it mature further: its ageing potential is endless.

History :

R.D. stands for "Récemment Dégorgé", recently disgorged: Madame Bollinger created this legendary vintage in 1967, giving the world the opportunity to taste a champagne aged on lees for an exceptionally long time. Her great vision? Enabling knowledgeable wine connoisseurs to share a very special moment, when very recently disgorged wine is as fresh and aromatic as ever. It was a small revolution in the world of champagne… The daring Bollinger R.D. could only become James Bond’s favourite champagne.
