An old vintage, with a very low dosage, that has been disgorged just prior to release: R.D (recently disgorged) is a wine that has always been ahead of its time and embodies Madame Bollinger’s visionary spirit. The combination of the long wait during the ageing process and the immediacy of disgorgement enables the harmonious contrast between the different temporalities of R.D.

Colour: A wine glimmering with golden reflections.

Nose: Enticing aromas of marzipan, stewed apricots, honey and breadcrumbs accompany fresh notes of bergamot.

Taste: A rich, precise mousse. Citrus notes are followed by flavours of Mirabelle plums and vine peaches. A very vivacious wine which unfolds to reveal exceptional complexity. Notes of fresh hazelnuts and salinity combine to create an intense, everlasting finish.

Please note that this bottle doesn't fit in any of our wooden gift boxes.

Champagne Bollinger, established in 1829, is a distinguished, family-owned Champagne house that remains fiercely independent. Celebrated for its Pinot Noir-centric blends, Bollinger adheres to traditional methods, including extended aging periods that can be up to four times longer than the norm. This commitment to tradition yields Champagnes with intricate, toasty flavours that define Bollinger’s signature style.
Madame Lily Bollinger, a legendary figure in the house’s history, once remarked, “I drink Champagne when I’m happy and when I’m sad. Sometimes I drink it when I’m alone. When I have company I consider it obligatory”.
Moreover, Bollinger’s use of the magnum format, which enhances the richness and aromatic purity of their reserve wines, significantly boosts the aging potential and complexity of their Champagnes. This exceptional combination of heritage, quality, and independence cements Bollinger’s esteemed reputation in the Champagne world.
