Unveiling The Mastery of Time:The Bollinger R.D. 2008 Journey
In 1963, Madam Bollinger pioneered the idea of crafting Champagne from an old vintage, recently disgorged and dosed like an Extra Brut, resulting in a remarkable freshness of the wine. This is what is so bold about the approach, which offers the world an opportunity to enjoy a truly unique tasting experience. This unique cuvée was named Bollinger R.D. for
“Recently Disgorged”.
Following meticulous riddling, the lees are gently expelled into a process called disgorgement—completed less than a year before release to preserve remarkable freshness.
For the first time in its history, Bollinger R.D. 2008 was released in three separate disgorgement batches, each unveiled within a year of its final cellar preparation. This pioneering approach highlights Bollinger’s mastery in crafting a Champagne that remains vibrant and fresh, even after more than 14 years aging on the lees.
Each disgorgement offers a distinct moment of revelation—proof of the house’s precision, patience, and pursuit of excellence.
After years of patient aging, Bollinger R.D. 2008 reaches its final journey.
This month marks the third and final disgorgement of the 2008 vintage, join us in celebrating the culmination of this extraordinary journey—savor the experience at our tasting experience or take home a bottle through the link below.
