1995 Champagne Bollinger R.D. Extra Brut (300cl Jeroboam)

This is an extraordinary, museum-grade 300cl Jeroboam (Double Magnum) of Bollinger R.D. from the legendary 1995 vintage. Bollinger's R.D. (Récemment Dégorgé / "Recently Disgorged") is one of the most elite and intellectual cuvées in the wine world. Conceived by Madame Bollinger in the 1960s, R.D. takes a mature vintage cuvée and subjects it to an exceptionally long maturation on its lees, sealed with natural corks rather than crown caps. It is only disgorged a short time before commercial release with an ultra-low Extra Brut dosage. This unique process creates an unparalleled contrast between a highly mature, complex palate and a breathtaking, youthfully vibrant structural freshness.
