R.D. is Bollinger’s boldest expression, a vintage Champagne aged for over a decade on lees and disgorged just before release to maintain its freshness. Made from at least 60 percent Pinot Noir, it offers power, elegance, and complexity. First released in 1967 with the 1952 vintage, R.D. was inspired by the tradition of serving recently disgorged older wines to close friends and honored guests. Barrel fermented, aged under cork, and riddled and disgorged by hand, it is a Champagne of precision and patience. No wonder it is James Bond’s pick.

Bollinger is one of the rare Grande Marques that’s still family owned. Known for its rich, elegant and polished style of Champagne, their outstanding wines are the result of rigorous attention to detail and incredibly labor-intensive practices that few houses are willing to undertake. Underscoring its excellence, Bollinger has remained British secret agent James Bond's Champagne of choice since 1973.
