BOLLINGER + SAFFRON

Champagne left on lees will remain fresh for years; once disgorged, it will begin the ageing process. Bollinger’s most recent release is an elegant example of how latedisgorgement can create exceptional wines. Bottled in 2007 and disgorged by hand nearly 14 years later, the Bollinger R.D. 2007 vintage is truly unique, bringing spicy aromas, along with notes of fruit, brioche and honey, which are contrasted by a soft freshness. It makes for the perfect pairing with saffron – one of the most sought after spices in the world, with a terroir that echoes the seasoned notes of the R.D. 2007. To celebrate spring, we’ve matched this special release with mussels and a simple saffron vinaigrette.
