✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Bollinger's R.D. (Récemment Dégorgé) is a legendary monument in Champagne, born from the visionary mind of Madame Lily Bollinger in the mid-20th century. While the wine world of the 1960s favored young, fresh champagnes, Madame Bollinger dared to release older vintages that had spent over a decade on their lees, disgorging them just before release to preserve an extraordinary tension between mature complexity and vibrant freshness. The '3rd Disgorgement' represents an ultra-late, library release of this iconic cuvée, offering an even deeper exploration of time. Composed predominantly of Pinot Noir sourced from historic Grand and Premier Crus, the base wine is fermented in aged oak barrels—a signature Bollinger tradition—before embarking on its multi-decade maturation under natural cork. The result is a majestic Champagne of unparalleled depth, marked by notes of toasted brioche, dried honey, and truffle, underpinned by a striking, mineral-driven acidity.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Champagne Bollinger blev grundlagt i 1829 i Grand Cru-landsbyen Aÿ af Hennequin de Villermont, Paul Renaudin og Jacques Bollinger og regnes i dag blandt de mest agtede og traditionsrige familieejede huse i Champagne. Huset bygger på et kompromisløst fokus på håndværk og udmærker sig især ved konsekvent fadgæring på egetræsfade, eget bødkeri og en usædvanlig lang lagring i kældrene under naturkork. Pinot Noir udgør den kraftfulde og strukturerede rygrad i husets stil og hentes primært fra Bollingers egne, omfattende parceller i Premier og Grand Cru-marker. Bollinger er verdenskendt for sine fyldige og komplekse cuvéer, der spænder fra signaturvinen Special Cuvée og årgangschampagnen La Grande Année til den legendariske R.D. samt den sjældne, rodægte Vieilles Vignes Françaises.
