Bollinger R.D., abbreviation for "Recemment Degorge", lies in the cellar and is aged longer on the lees, and usually receives lower dosage at around 3-4g/L. It is a rare cuvee which takes up only 1% of the Bollinger entire production. The Bollinger R.D 2007 were disgorged in July 2020 which stayed 12 years with the lees to develop its structure and power. Received a massive 97pts by Wine Advocate’s William Kelley, the Bollinger R.D. 2007 is just one point behind Bollinger R.D. 2008 which market price has rocketed to HK$2,793^ today, proving 2007 an excellent bargain to buy now!

Bollinger R.D. Extra Brut 2007
HK$1,500 per bottle
97pts William Kelley
Disgorged on July 10, 2020, with three grams per liter dosage, Bollinger's eagerly awaited 2007 Extra-Brut R. D. is beautiful, unwinding in the glass with aromas of crisp orchard fruit, citrus pith and white flowers mingled with hints of honey, orange oil, buttery pastry, English walnuts and delicately spicy bass notes. Full-bodied, vibrant and incisive, it's unusually elegant and structurally fine-boned for what is routinely one of Champagne's more muscular tête de cuvées, with a bright spine of acidity that's cloaked in vibrant, concentrated fruit, complemented by a pearly pinpoint mousse and concluding with an intensely sapid finish. Long and penetrating, this is a tightly coiled R. D. that will reward bottle age.
