Description

A magnum bottle of 1973 Bollinger RD Tradition Brut Champagne, bottled on 30 March 1981, specially shipped to celebrate the marriage of H.R.H. The Prince of Wales and Lady Diana Spencer on 29th July 1981.

'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.

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

This 1973 Bollinger RD Tradition sold at our online auction for £330
