History
R.D. stands for Recemment Degorge, Recently Disgorged: Madame Bollinger created this legendary vintage in 1967, giving the world the opportunity to taste a champagne aged on lees for an exceptionally long time. Her great vision? Enabling knowledgeable wine connoisseurs to share a very special moment, when very recently disgorged wine is as fresh and aromatic as ever. It was a small revolution in the world of Champagne...
The daring Bollinger R.D. could only become James Bond’s favourite champagne.

Tasting notes
Color: Golden with subtle highlights.
Nose: Aromas of stewed ripe fruit, particularly quince, but also a discreet note of honey.
These are followed by roasted notes and cocoa, which give way to flavours of star anise and nutmeg. Palate: Full-bodied attack. Powerful but well-balanced, with persistent flavour. Mineral finish with touches of lemon revealing a pleasing bitterness.
