BEHIND THE WINE

Bollinger R.D. 2008 is the epitome of Madame Bollinger’s visionary approach, combining time-honored tradition with innovation. Made from 71% Pinot Noir and 29% Chardonnay, it incorporates 18 crus, with notable contributions from Aÿ, Verzenay, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, and Cramant. Fermented entirely in oak barrels, the wine undergoes a prolonged aging process before being disgorged just prior to release. This recent disgorgement, paired with an “extra brut” dosage of only 3 grams per liter, ensures remarkable freshness and vibrancy, making Bollinger R.D. 2008 a timeless expression of excellence.
