The Bollinger R.D. Extra Brut 2008 in Luxe Kist is a legendary vintage Extra Brut from the Champagne region, crafted by Bollinger from Pinot Noir (70%) and Chardonnay from Grand Cru vineyards. “Recently Disgorged” with 12+ years of lees aging, it displays a golden hue with fine bubbles and a complex nose of dried apricot, candied lemon, and brioche, with hints of truffle and chalky minerality. The palate is rich and intense, with vibrant acidity, a creamy mousse, and a long, mineral-driven finish. With a low dosage (3 g/L), it reflects the exceptional 2008 vintage. Presented in a luxury box, it’s perfect for gifting. Ideal with caviar, lobster, or aged cheeses, it’s a luxury for fine dining. Drinking beautifully now, it can age further, developing richer notes. This R.D. showcases Bollinger’s oak-driven style, offering a refined Champagne for enthusiasts seeking prestige and complexity.
