Time is the secret ingredient of great wine, enhancing viticultural and winemaking expertise, adding complexity and creating longevity.<\/p>\n
Madame Bollinger first had the idea of offering recently disgorged cuvees in 1961 as part of her absolute commitment to making the best possible wines.\u00a0\u00a0 Only the most promising of the Bollinger La Grande Annee vintages can hope to become R.D.<\/p>\n

The lively freshness amazes and enchants, while the aromatic expression intrigues.<\/p>\n
