- Description
- Bollinger's 2008 RD spent 13 years on its lees, developing the house's signature richness and complexity. Aromas of marzipan, fresh brioche, and Mirabelle plums precede a creamy palate with subtle yeasty depth, balanced by low dosage at three grams per litre. This vintage champagne opens as an aperitif or pairs thoughtfully with aged cheeses and nuts, with the structure to improve further in the cellar.
