      RARE R.D. 2000 ONLY AVAILABLE IN JEROBOAMS
      Bollinger has taken the step to only release the 2000 vintage of prestige cuvee R.D. in Jeroboam (3-liter bottles). The Bollinger chief executive, Jerome Philippon, took the decision as he felt the 3-liter bottle was the best size for this Champagne to age in. When speaking at the bi-annual Vinexpo industry conference in Bordeaux in June, Philippon said, "Given the forward nature of 2000, bottles and magnums wouldn't have been right for R.D. as they would speed up the ageing, but Jeroboams last forever." "R.D. develops best in Jeroboam and it seemed the right thing to do to limit it to that format, but bottles and magnums of R.D will definitely be back," he reassured.

      Extremely Limited Quantities Produced
      Just 400 Jeroboams of R.D. 2000 were bottled, with 350 available worldwide in this numbered wooden gift box.

      Standing for "recently disgorged," Bollinger R.D. 2000 is made from grapes grown across 16 crus, with 76% of the blend made from grand cru grapes. A blend of 63% Pinot Noir and 37% Chardonnay, all 400 Jeroboams were disgorged on 07/07 of 2012, in honor of Bollinger's long links to James Bond.

      About the Champagne:
      R.D. (Recently Disgorged) is the result of a great vision of Madame Bollinger, R.D. is a magnification of the very best that the Champagne region's terroir has to offer. R.D. starts as a Grande Annee, the prestige cuvée of Bollinger, and is allowed to mature for an extra 8 to 20 years, sometimes more. This special aging allows the wine to maintain a unique combination of freshness and vivacity, while developing delicate and complex aromas.

      Tasting Note:
      A strong color with intense luminosity. Great depth, notes of cashew nuts, honey, caramelized apple tart. Aromas of forest floor and wild mushrooms. As it develops, the primary aromas give way to more complex secondary aromas (stone fruits) and even tertiary (mocha, cocoa and truffle).

      Champagne Bollinger, France

      In 1829, Champagne Bollinger introduced an instantly recognizable, dry, toasty style that connoisseurs around the globe have coveted ever since. Six generations of the Bollinger family have maintained that trademark style, and Bollinger is one of the rare Grande Marque houses to be owned, controlled and managed by the same family since it was founded.

      With 399 acres of vineyards situated in the best Grands Crus and Premiers Crus villages, Bollinger relies on its own estate for nearly two-thirds of its grape requirements, including the Pinot Noir that gives its Champagne its distinctive roundness and elegance. Bollinger is one of a select few houses that can control the quality of its grape supply so carefully.

      Bollinger is renowned for its stringent quality standards. It adheres to traditional methods, including individual vinification of each marc and cru, barrel fermentation (it is the last Champagne house to employ a full-time cooper) and extra-aging on the lees prior to disgorgement.

      Members of the British Royal Court were among the first to embrace Bollinger’s unmistakable quality, and Queen Victoria made Bollinger the exclusive purveyor to the Court by Royal Warrant in 1884. Besides royalty, loyal devotees have included heads of state, celebrities and even famous fictional characters: Agent 007, James Bond, demands the exclusive Champagne Bollinger.
