{"product_id":"bollinger-rd-1997","title":"Bollinger RD 1997","description":"Bollinger RD 1997 is a vintage, prestige-cuvée Champagne produced by Champagne Bollinger in Aÿ, France. Since 1829 Bollinger has been producing great Champagnes with a powerful, sophisticated and complex style. The house`s RD or `récemment dégorgé` (recently disgorged) range was the unique idea of Madame Bollinger. old vintages released soon after disgorgement, this combining the complexity of extended bottle ageing with the sprightliness of a recently disgorged wine. The 1997 vintage is a blend of 65% Pinot Noir and 35% Chardonnay, mostly from Grand Cru vineyards. \"The 1997 Extra Brut R.D. needs quite a bit of air to open up. The wine shows tons of depth in a dark, dramatic expression of the vintage. Ripe apricots, pears, smoke, minerals and ash are some of the nuances that flow from this broad-shouldered, expansive Champagne. Once again, I find striking depth and detail in all dimensions of the wine. Personally, I am more inclined to the style of the Grande Annee, but the 1997 R.D. is undoubtedly a gorgeous Champagne. This is an intense wine that needs to be paired with food.\" Wine Advocate, 2010","brand":"Bollinger","offers":[{"title":"Duty Paid","offer_id":62413142458698,"sku":"HED27032","price":350.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/7696\/2634\/files\/HED27032.jpg?v=1781895553","url":"https:\/\/hedonism.co.uk\/products\/bollinger-rd-1997","provider":"Hedonism Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
