1999 Bollinger RD pre-shipment offer

1999 Bollinger RD

03/06/11

The newest vintage of this iconic Champagne is a must-have for all lovers of rich and toasty Champagnes. Bollinger's 1999 RD is the Grande Annee on steroids, sorry, I mean, sur lie for an extended period. From premier and grand cru vineyards only, this Pinot Noir-dominated blend benefits hugely from all that extra lees contact, and this - to use Bollinger's words - has "extraordinary aromatic complexity". For once, this is no spin. RD retains floral and fruit notes but it gains a more powerful bass line. A hedonistic and grippy wine, this is one of the most serious Champagnes on the market. What's more, it can be enjoyed immediately. /CC
