Taste Profile: Bollinger R.D. presents itself to the eye with golden reflections. To the nose, it reveals inviting aromas of marzipan, stewed apricots, honey and breadcrumbs accompany fresh notes of bergamot. On the palate it has a rich and precise mousse. Citrus notes are followed by flavours of Mirabelle plums and vine peaches. A very lively wine that unfolds to reveal exceptional complexity. Notes of fresh hazelnuts and salinity combine to create and intense and lasting finish.
Grape: 71% Pinot Noir and 29% Chardonnay
Serving Tips: It stands up to poultry dishes beautifully, as well as white meat or, alternatively, charcuterie. And to carry you through the meal, it is a perfect accompaniment to hard cheeses, such as Parmesan.
