What the critics say
96 WAWine Advocate, William Kelley, 21-12-2023
From a bottle disgorged in 2016, the 1979 Extra-Brut R. D. is the fruit of an early October harvest, and it contains the highest percentage of Pinot Noir ever recorded for this cuvée to date. Offering up complex aromas of grilled peaches, walnuts, coffee, orange oil, saffron and toast, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with a vinous mid-palate, ripe but racy acids and a beautifully refined mousse, concluding with a telltale bone-dry finish. Elegantly muscular and intensely sapid, the 1979 R. D. exemplifies the greatness of mature Bollinger.
Drink 1990 to 2030
95 VMVinous, Antonio Galloni, 01-11-2007
Bollinger's 1979 R.D. (magnum, disgorged 1998) was an especially haunting, ethereal wine that floated on palate with remarkable grace.
