Bollinger R.D. Extra brut 2007
A Champagne of power and contrast. The nose offers sweet spices, dried fruit, and pastry notes. On the palate, it is full-bodied and taut, characterized by a surprising citrusy freshness that challenges the evolutionary maturity of the bouquet. A rare sensory experience for those seeking the depth of time without giving up acidic verve.
Bollinger R.D. Extra brut 2007
The Bollinger R.D. 2007,is champagne made of paradox: extreme aromatic maturity combined with incredible structural freshness. While La Grande Année 2007 has now completed its journey, the R.D., thanks to the recent disgorgement, maintains a vibrant tension. On the nose, it is complex and deep: notes of chestnut honey, saffron, and ginger stand out, followed by hints of ripe quince and toasted hazelnut. On the palate, it is masterful in contrast; the entry is broad and creamy, almost imposing, but is immediately enlivened by chalky minerality and citrusy acidity that lifts the tasting. The Extra Brut dosage lets the substance speak for itself, finishing on an endless, savory, and pleasantly bittersweet note.
