Bollinger’s 2008 R.D. is a powerful, vinous Champagne. Apricot, dried pear, tangerine oil, hazelnut, dried flowers, chamomile and brioche all race across the palate. The 2008 boasts notable depth and textural intensity, with a feeling of phenolic, almost tannin-driven grip from the Pinot that propels the finish.(Antonio Galloni, Vinous, May 2023)

A beautiful richness, fresh, lemon brioche, alive on the palate, richness, touch of warm cinnamon apple with caramel, yet with a light touch. Minerality, of the cool damp earth.
