Bollinger R.D. Extra Brut 2008 — recently disgorged, bone-dry and profound, in a presentation gift box.
R.D. stands for Récemment Dégorgé — “recently disgorged.” Bollinger holds this acclaimed 2008 vintage on its lees far longer than usual, then finishes it Extra Brut with a very low dosage, revealing the wine's natural elegance and purity.
Golden, with fine, lively bubbles. Extended lees ageing and a low dosage give a rich yet taut character — ripe fruit and brioche framed by crisp acidity and a dry, profound finish.
