Description

Cuvée R.D. 2007 from the House of Bollinger is a bold, dazzling cuvée. Conceived by the illustrious Madame Bollinger, cuvée R.D. is an Extra Brut champagne, vintage-aged on lees, offered for tasting just after disgorgement: R.D. for "Récemment Dégorgée". Its recent disgorgement guarantees optimal freshness, that extraordinary moment when the intensity of freshness equals the beauty of aromatic expression.

This exceptional cuvée is only produced in great years, and reveals the exceptional aromatic expression of its vintage in a Champagne that has taken the time to develop while retaining its brilliance.

This 2007 vintage is a blend of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay from 14 different crus, 91% of which are Grands Crus and 9% Premiers Crus. This blend is vinified, then aged in barrel. The bottles are then lowered into the cellar, corked to optimize the development of aromas, and aged for over 10 years.

This champagne has an intense amber color.

The nose is complex and particularly marked by aromas of honey and brioche. The bouquet then opens with notes of multi-faceted spices such as ginger, cumin and caraway, superbly integrated with hints of mirabelle plum, dried apricot and fresh hazelnut.

On the palate, the attack is lively and energetic, with notes of white plum, walnut and aniseed. The freshness of this cuvée is matched by incredible tension on the palate.

This magnificent cuvée R.D. 2007 from Maison Bollinger will sublimate saffron-based dishes such as langoustine with saffron vinaigrette or poultry in saffron and ginger sauce.
