1990 Bollinger R.D. Extra Brut 1.5L Magnum

Description

The 1990 vintage is legendary in Champagne, often cited as one of the best of the 20th century. This R.D. bottling took the standard Grande Année and aged it on its lees for a significantly longer period (often 10–15 years or more) before disgorgement. This process creates a fascinating tension: the wine possesses the deep, tertiary complexity of a 30-year-old Champagne but retains a vibrant, lively acidity because it was only recently "finished."

Highlights

• Vintage: 1990

• Region/Appellation: Champagne, France

• Producer: Bollinger

• Grape: Blend of approximately 69% Pinot Noir and 31% Chardonnay.

• Style: Extra Brut; powerful, complex, and "gastronomic" with intense toasty and nutty secondary notes.

• Perfect for: A major celebration or a high-end corporate event. Given your recent business expansion, this is the ultimate pairing for premium caviar. The high acidity and toasty depth of an aged R.D. Magnum will cut through the richness of Beluga or Royal Oscietra flawlessly.
