R.D. develops delicate and complex aromas as well as gathering a unique style of its own,
highly acclaimed by the Bollinger lovers and true wine connoisseurs.

Wine Enthusiast The Bollinger R.D. (recently disgorged) is Bollinger’s answer to a prestige cuvée. Keeping the wine long on its lees (this was disgorged in June 2006) yields a wine that is very much in the rich Bollinger style. This is a beautifully balanced wine, with acidity, intensity and structure in perfect harmony. It is still so young, and certainly could age for years. Score: 97. —Roger Voss, November 01, 2006.

Wine Spectator A powerhouse. Big and sophisticated, combining lemon and grapefruit notes with candied fruits, roasted nuts and coffee. Fresh, dry and finely detailed, with finesse and a lingering finish driven by acidity. Drink now through 2020. 750 cases imported. Score: 94. —Bruce Sanderson, November 30, 2006.
