Bollinger RD, - '2024 Release' 2008
Cases of 6 are presented in original wooden cases. One of our fastest selling wines in 2023 was the first disgorgement of Bollinger’s much anticipated R.D. 2008 – awarded 98+ points by The Wine Advocate’s William Kelley and the accolade " The finest R. D. of the decade ". The maison has now released a second, even later disgorgement with the wine having spent a further 11 months resting prior to release. The 2008 is a blend of 71% Pinot Noir and 29% Chardonnay: 90% of the fruit is from Grand Cru vineyards (and the remainder from Premier Crus) - mainly Ay and Verzenay for the Pinot Noir, and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Cramant for the Chardonnay. This latest disgorgement took place at the end of October 2023, a full year after the first release, adding even more complexity from a staggering 15 years on its lees. Only 3g dosage was added, ensuring this is firmly extra dry. Truly a Champagne for the ages, this is an exceptional expression of the top cuvée from one of the finest maisons in a vintage that will stand alongside the greatest of all time.
