Bollinger RD Magnum 1999 presents a captivating example of the house`s commitment to long maturation and precise craftsmanship. This cuvée showcases a deep golden hue, indicative of its age and complexity. The nose reveals a fusion of aromas such as roasted nuts, dried fruits and subtle tertiary notes reminiscent of brioche, with hints of spice and earthiness. The palate maintains a structured profile, offering flavours of ripe citrus, toffee and a whisper of truffle. With 60% of its vineyards planted with Pinot Noir, Bollinger consistently reflects its bold character and meticulous vineyard practices. The 1999 vintage benefits from extensive cellaring, adhering to the principles established by Madame Lily Bollinger in the 1960s.
