Heiner Lobenberg om:
Champagne R.D. Extra Brut 2002

96–98
/100

R.D. består hovedsageligt af Grand Cru-steder og en lille del Premier Crus. Den virkelige specialitet er dog den lange modningsperiode, som champagnen tilbringer i flasken. En meget raffineret champagne, der udstråler ren elegance og har en enorm dybde. Dufter af frisk brioche, lidt karamel og macadamianødder. Men forbliver altid frisk og livlig. En ekstremt fyldig champagne med modne noter, men med en sprød syre. En af de fineste prestige-cuvéer. Kan modnes enormt i flasken! 96-98/100

Suckling om: Champagne R.D. Extra Brut

Super fresh, this is striking given the 10 years in the cellars; it has a fine citrus nose - plenty of lemon, grapefruit, yellow chalky notes, some lighter floral elements too. The palate is super dry (dosage at 3-4g) and there's a silky, sherbet-like texture, smooth, fine and long. The citrus flavours give way to the driving surging acidity, thunderous acidity, really driving and powerful. The finish twists very slowly through to light-toasted cashew fruit flavours, but lemon citrus prevails. This is thrilling Champagne. 99/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Champagne R.D. Extra Brut

A wine that really needs time in the glass to show at its best, Bollinger’s 2002 RD comes from a total 23 different crus (71% being Grand Cru) and is a 60/40 split of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Disgorged in 2013 after spending 11 years in bottle, it offers a dry, savory style that quickly morphs toward more stone fruits, toasted nuts, dried earth and exotic spices. Deep, pure, and incredibly chiseled on the palate, with a gorgeous texture and great finish, this is a Champagne I’d decant if drinking anytime soon. The dosage is in the 3-4 grams range, and while it’s certainly on the dry/savory end of the spectrum, it offers incredible complexity and depth. 96/100

Galloni om: Champagne R.D. Extra Brut

Bollinger's 2002 R.D. is striking in its beauty. Silky and caressing on the palate, the 2002 impresses for its exceptional balance and harmony. In 2002 so many Champagnes are ripe and explosive in style, but the 2002 R.D. is quite restrained by comparison. Hints of apricot pit, smoke, almonds, spices and pears ring out on the super-finessed, inviting finish. The 2002 is going to be nearly impossible to resist in its youth, but it should also age impeccably. All the elements are in the right place. Dosage is 3-4 grams per liter. 96/100

Wine Spectator om: Champagne R.D. Extra Brut

A fine example of power married to elegance, this is impeccably balanced, with a mouthwatering palate of crème de cassis, toasted brioche, fleur de sel and crystallized honey flavors. The rich, smoky underpinning is carried on a finely detailed bead. 96/100

Decanter om: Champagne R.D. Extra Brut

The sheer energy, bold complexity and shimmering minerality of La Grande Année 2002 finds even greater focus and honed definition with half the dosage and another few years on lees. One of Champagne’s youngest late-disgorged releases, it begs for another decade for its full magnificence to emerge. 96/100

Jancis Robinson om: Champagne R.D. Extra Brut

Tasted blind. Dark gold. Mushrooms (a mature Bollinger trademark), savour and density with a dry finish. Definitely Bollinger RD. Some refinement too. Reminds me a little of a fine sake – umami? 19/20
