Bollinger R.D. 2007 Champagne cl 75

• Type: Champagne AOC – R.D.
• Production Area: Ay – Vallée de la Marne
• Varietal: 70% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay. 14 crus, 91% of which are Grands Crus and 9% Premiers Crus.

Cellar:

• Vinification: Fermentation takes place in small wooden barrels (of 205, 225 and 410 liters), followed by frothing and a maturation on the lees for at least 10 years, three times the time required by the product specification. Maturation takes place with the bottle sealed with a cork, ensuring an ideal oxidoreductive process for yeast autolysis.
• Aging: Aged on the lees for at least 10 years, three times the time required by the product specification. Recent disgorgement to ensure wine freshness.

• Color: Golden hues, with a fine and very lively perlage.
• Nose: Fresh, elegant and complex, with notes of citrus, baking, sweet spices, minerality and a nuance between smoky, toasted and ripe fruit.
• Pairings: Ideal with large roast meats, baked quail and pigeon, and very mature cheeses.
• Taste: Surprising freshness, almost balsamic, with a harmonious sip that reflects the olfactory sensations. A perfect balance of citrus, minerality and a refined savoriness on the close.
• Tasting Notes: R.D. stands for Récemment Dégorgé. Madame Bollinger created this legendary cuvée in 1967, characterized by prolonged aging on the lees. Only the best vintages become R.D., whose dégorgement occurs only when they leave the cellar. Full-bodied, intense and balanced, it is a great wine.

Bollinger R.D. 2007 Champagne is an excellence in the Champagne tradition, representing the quintessence of style, complexity and freshness.
