Description

Lo Champagne AOC R.D. Magnum di Bollinger è un'opera d'arte enologica che incarna l'essenza dell'eccellenza e della tradizione. Questo Champagne è frutto di una rigorosa selezione delle migliori uve, prevalentemente Chardonnay e Pinot Noir, provenienti dai Grand Cru e Premier Cru della regione della Champagne. Il suo nome "R.D." significa "Récemment Dégorgé", sottolineando il processo di dégorgement recente che garantisce una freschezza straordinaria e una complessità aromatica intensa.

Alla vista, lo Champagne AOC R.D. Magnum di Bollinger si presenta con un colore dorato brillante e un perlage finissimo. Al naso, rivela un bouquet affascinante e ricco, con note di frutta matura come mele cotogne e frutti di bosco, integrate da sentori di spezie, nocciole tostate e delicate sfumature di fiori bianchi. Il palato è generoso e strutturato, con una bella acidità bilanciata e una texture cremosa che lo rende estremamente elegante.

Perfetto da abbinare a piatti raffinati come crostacei, foie gras e formaggi stagionati, lo Champagne AOC R.D. Magnum di Bollinger è l'accompagnamento ideale per celebrare occasioni speciali. La sua lunga persistenza e il finale complesso lasciano un ricordo indelebile, testimoni della maestria con cui è stato creato. Un vero capolavoro per gli intenditori di Champagne e gli amanti del lusso.

Winery history

Founded in 1829 in Aÿ, the Maison has remained in the same family for generations and has gained international renown, largely thanks to the stewardship of figures such as Élisabeth "Lily" Bollinger. Over the years Bollinger has gradually expanded its vineyards and cellars, preserving traditional practices and a strong identity rooted in family continuity and quality.

Production philosophy

Bollinger's style is based on emphasizing fruit expression, with a strong focus on Pinot Noir, extended lees aging, the use of reserve wines kept in magnums and winemaking in wooden barrels: principles intended to build complexity, structure and longevity.

Terroir and vineyards

The Maison farms vineyards in the heart of Champagne: areas such as Aÿ, Montagne de Reims, Côte des Blancs and Vallée de la Marne. Among the most celebrated parcels are the ungrafted clos, which supply the grapes for the cuvée Vieilles Vignes Françaises.

Awards and recognitions

It holds historic accolades, including a Royal Warrant awarded in the 19th century, and enjoys a wide international reputation for the quality of its cuvées.
