An ideal combination of rain and warmth throughout spring and summer resulted in one of the most balanced yields in recent history.

 

A masterpiece envisioned by nature itself

Champagne itself is often the protagonist in stories of human celebration; it almost seems unjust that in this instance, Mother Nature herself didn't pop a cork in tribute to the excellence she had bestowed upon the region's grapevines.

A symphony of sublime flavours

The 2004 vintage diverges into an opulent and refined territory, distinguishing itself from its siblings through maturity and gravitas. The attributes of this particular vintage carry profound notes of ripe apple and pear embraced by a delicate toastiness - a testament to Bollinger's extended ageing periods.

Fine oak comes forth in an unobtrusive ballet with hints of honey, brandy soaked raisins, vanilla, and spice giving way to a pronounced finish resonating with a citrus tang. This alluring narrative encapsulates its potential as investable wine.

The distinct sense of terroir, coupled with an advantageous climatic cycle of 2004, defines this noteworthy offering from Bollinger. A look into this exquisitely balanced Champagne tells not just a story of masterful winemaking, but showcases how deeply woven fine wine investment can be into nature's whimsical performance.

The luminous 2004 Bollinger R.D. from Bollinger resonates in warm notes sung by Pinot Noir grapes. Interwoven with cool melodies by Chardonnay counterparts: these chords create a symphony forever encased in its bottle, yet alive at every uncorking - a perennial performance worth investing in.
