France 2008 Champagne Bollinger

The wine offers freshness and an extraordinary intensity due to its recent disgorgement, as well as the aromas of an old vintage which has been aged for more than 13 years in the heart of the Bollinger cellars in Aÿ.  An old vintage, disgorged shortly before its release, with a very low dosage – the R.D. cuvée embodies the audacity of Madame Bollinger, a wine ahead of its time. 

Bollinger R.D. 2008 Extra Brut Champagne 75cl is a remarkable blend of 71% Pinot Noir and 29% Chardonnay, sourced primarily from Grand Cru vineyards such as Aÿ, Verzenay, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, and Cramant. This vintage, characterised by precision and opulence, has been aged meticulously and disgorged just before release, offering a lively and exceptionally complex profile. Fermented entirely in oak barrels, Bollinger R.D. 2008 presents enticing aromas of marzipan, stewed apricots, honey, and breadcrumbs, complemented by fresh bergamot notes. The palate delivers a rich, precise mousse with layers of citrus, Mirabelle plums, and vine peaches, unfolding into fresh hazelnuts and salinity for a lasting finish.

  • Grand Cru Vineyards: Crafted with 90% Grand Cru grapes, primarily from Aÿ and Verzenay for Pinot Noir and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Cramant for Chardonnay.
