Introducing truly authentic and timeless vintage champagne - Bollinger R.D. 2008. 6 x 75 cl bottles beautifully presented inside a decorative wooden box. Bollinger R.D. was the first ever to specify a disgorgement date on its label. Today, this legendary label has been recreated with lettering in the original 1952 font. Made using a combination of 66% Pinot Noir, 34% Chardonnay grapes, this vintage champagne is best served chilled.

- Dosage: Very low. “Extra Brut”, 3 grams per litre.
- How to Serve: We recommend serving Bollinger R.D. at a temperature of 8°C, then to appreciate the evolution of its aromas over the course of the tasting.
- Tasting Notes: To the eye: Intense shimmers of gold. To the nose: Complex on the nose with aromas of honey and brioche. This is followed by a host of spices (ginger, cumin, caraway and more), before evolving into notes of Mirabelle plum, dried apricot and fresh hazelnut. On the palate: A lively and clean opening that reveals notes of white plum, walnut and aniseed. Its freshness is beautiful and its tension incredible.
- Pairings: Pairings based on saffron, the ingredient selected to highlight the Bollinger R.D. 2008 cuvée: Langoustine with a saffron-infused vinaigrette - Fillet of halibut in a saffron crust - Bresse chicken with a saffron and ginger sauce.

IMPORTANT: PLEASE CHOOSE YOUR FONT CAREFULLY BEFORE HAVING YOUR SELECTED GIFT ENGRAVED.
There is a small selection of fonts that will contain different character designs, and you may not like or approve of some of them. For example, in one of the fonts - 'Victoria' - the letter 'V' looks similar to the letter 'D' because of the italic serif design. Once an item has been engraved we cannot refund or exchange it, because we will not be able to resell an engraved item.
