Pure Perfection vintage 2008

The 2008 vintage was characterized by changeable weather and a wide variety of harvests. In the Champagne region, grape varieties, crus, vineyards, and plots varied considerably. Stormy and gray months in July and August were followed by ideal conditions, allowing Bollinger to begin harvesting on September 15th. Optimal ripeness of 9.8 and total acidity of 8.5g/l were achieved, resulting in an abundant harvest of Pinot Noir and beautiful, botrytis-free grapes.

Very limited number of bottles of the Bollinger RD 2008

Maison Bollinger's knowledge and expertise ensured the grapes were kept in excellent condition, despite the changing conditions. This made 2008 an exceptional vintage, with richly aromatic Chardonnays and characterful, balanced Pinot Noirs.

The aroma and taste of the Bollinger RD 2008
