Bollinger R.D. 1996

• The classic vintage with an acid structure built for decades
• Beginning to open up

Bollinger R.D. 1996 is the long-lived classic among the R.D.s of the 1990s

Key facts

1996 is a vintage that combines perfectly ripe grapes with small yields and high acidity, which immediately made it one of the often-proclaimed “vintages of the century”. Unlike many classics such as Krug, which are still dominated by their acidity, it is beginning to open up again and find its harmony. It is therefore at the beginning of its drinking window, which will become even more exciting over the coming decades.

This bottle was disgorged on 8 June 2007 with 4 g/l. The fill level, colour, label and capsule are perfect.
