Notes:
Quick Glance:
To the eye: Intense shimmers of gold.
To the nose: Complex on the nose with aromas of honey and brioche. This is followed by a host of spices (ginger, cumin, caraway and more), before evolving into notes of mirabelle plum, dried apricot and fresh hazelnut.
On the palate: A lively and clean opening that reveals notes of white plum, walnut and aniseed. Its freshness is beautiful and its tension incredible.
Story of R.D:
Created in 1952, R.D. stands for “recently disgorged.” R.D. 2007 is sourced from a total of 14 crus, 91% of which are Grand Cru and 9% of which are Premier Cru. 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.
