Bollinger R.D. 2008350. 00 per bottle NEW "When I was tasting Bollinger's brilliant Grande Anne in this vintage, I was trying to imagine how good the 2008 Extra Brut R. D. would be, as the style of the vintage seems almost perfectly adapted to this cuve. Four years later, we have the answer, and the wine is brilliant. Disgorged in 2022, it's more reserved out of the gates than the dramatic Grande Anne was on release, unwinding in the glass with notes of crisp orchard

where the Nebbiolo vines enjoy perfect south east facing exposure on chalky soils

The nose displays delicate aromas of white flowers

and by an absence of limestone
