      Bollinger R.D. 2008 in Magnum — recently disgorged after over thirteen years on the lees, taut and profound.

      R.D. stands for Récemment Dégorgé — “recently disgorged.” Bollinger holds this celebrated 2008 vintage on its lees far longer than usual before release, marrying maturity with vivid freshness. Pinot Noir–led and bone-dry, in the grand magnum format.

      The Champagne

      Medium to full-bodied, with a rich, precise mousse and high, racy acidity. More than thirteen years on the lees build layers of stone fruit, honey and spice, framed by a bone-dry, energetic finish of great persistence.

      What pairs well?

      Seafood, poultry, strong cheeses and rich desserts.

      Is it a good gift?

      Yes — a magnum of a landmark R.D. vintage, an exceptional gift for a collector or celebration.
