Bollinger RD 1995 is a late-disgorged vintage Champagne characterised by its blend of predominantly Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes. This cuvée demonstrates Bollinger`s commitment to quality through its high vineyard ownership, with nearly 70% of the grapes sourced from estate-owned plots in the Montagne de Reims. The house utilises traditional vinification methods, fermenting around 80% of its wines in seasoned oak barrels, which adds layers of complexity. A hallmark of Bollinger`s style is extended lees ageing; the RD 1995 spent at least eight years on its lees prior to disgorgement.
