Bollinger R.D. Extra Brut Champagne
| Vintage: | 2008 |
|---|---|
| Description: | In Champagne, vintages like 2008 only come around once every 50 years or so: Wine Advocate rated the vintage 99 points, its highest of all time (since 1970). Champagne guru Richard Juhlin wrote that it is "An absolutely wonderful vintage that has it all!.My initial reaction was that this was the vintage where you should purchase everything available." In that historic season, Bollinger made one of the finest bottles in the region: the 2008 R.D. spent a staggering 14 years on its fine lees, under cork, and was hand-disgorged in 2022. Jeb Dunnuck named it #37 in his Top 100 Wines of 2023, calling it "a stunner…this is a wine to cellar for the ages." "The wine is brilliant," wrote Wine Advocate, awarding the same 98+ score as Krug's Clos du Mesnil ($2,500). |
