The Bollinger R.D. 2008 opens with regal precision, revealing layers of citrus zest, Mirabelle plum, and vine peach over a vibrant, energetic core. A stately tension carries through to the finish, where notes of fresh hazelnut and a whisper of salinity linger with remarkable persistence. Vintage: 2008 Country: France Region: Champagne Appellation: Champagne Grapes: Pinot Noir 71%, Chardonnay 29% Drink: Now-2030

Bollinger’s 2008 R.D. is a powerful, vinous Champagne. Apricot, dried pear, tangerine oil, hazelnut, dried flowers, chamomile and brioche all race across the palate. The 2008 boasts notable depth and textural intensity, with a feeling of phenolic, almost tannin-driven grip from the Pinot that propels the finish.(Antonio Galloni, Vinous, May 2023)
