Bollinger R.D. 2007

Crisp mineral tension defines this focused R.D., departing from the house's typical creamy richness. Crushed stones, white flowers and citrus peel drive the palate, with ginger and almond adding complexity. The difficult 2007 vintage produced a leaner, more energetic style built from just 14 villages, Verzenay Pinot and Cramant Chardonnay leading the blend. Cellar for a few years to unlock its full potential; will evolve gracefully for decades.
