Description

A bottle of Bollinger 1973 RD Tradition, a blend of 75% Pinot Noir and 25% Chardonnay. This was disgorged on 3 March 1983.

'RD' stands for 'récemment dégorgé', or 'recently disgorged'. This style was first introduced by Madame Bollinger in 1961 for the 1952 La Grande Année vintage. Disgorgement is a process in Champagne making which involves the removal of the frozen sediment collected at the neck of the inverted bottle. RD Champagnes are aged on their lees for longer than most vintage releases, resulting in a more mature and complex wine.

This carries a royal warrant by appointment to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

Please note, there is no ABV stated on the labels.

This Bollinger RD 1973 sold at our online auction for £220
