Champagne Bollinger RD 2008 (6x75cl)

The latest release which has got the Trade "Buzzing"!

The 2008 is a gorgeous blend of 71% Pinot Noir and 29% Chardonnay: 90% of the fruit is from Grand Cru vineyards (and the remainder from Premier Crus) - mainly Ay and Verzenay for the Pinot Noir, and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Cramant for the Chardonnay (tech sheet attached). The outcome is spectacular already but will be incredibly long-lived.

I think it is worth noting that 2008 is the first R.D. to have been aged in the “1846” Bollinger bottle. This unique shape offers beneficial properties for the quality of the wine. The idea in using the curved shape of the bottle is to get that perfect balance of a “small magnum” with a narrower neck and a wider base, to very slightly slow the oxygen exchange and therefore give a superior wine with longer ageing potential.
