What does “In Bond” mean?
Wines sold ‘in bond’ do not include any alcohol duty or VAT. The bottles/cases must be stored in a bonded account with a HMRC registered professional storage facility, they cannot be ordered for home delivery.
When these wines are withdrawn from the bonded storage facility, the duty and VAT are then payable.
Cadman Wine does not operate storage accounts on behalf of customers but we can deliver to your existing storage account or help you set one up with our preferred partners.
Champagne Bollinger, RD Vintage, Extra Brut, France 1996
Champagne Bollinger, RD Vintage, Extra Brut, France 1996
Made exclusively from Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards, Bollinger RD is a very special wine indeed. The RD range is a specialty of Bollinger, the wines spend an extended period of time on the ‘lees’ which allows the wine to develop richer flavours whilst preserving the inherent freshness.
Aromas of hazelnut, tinned peaches and citrus peel. The paalte is round and mature but somehow refreshing. A slight hint of toffee and latte on the finish. This is a Champagne to enjoy with food, try it with teriyaki salmon.

CRITIC SCORE 96/100
The 1996 R.D. (2012 disgorgement) is in a gorgeous spot right now. A stunning set of aromas and flavors have developed in bottle, making the 1996 a real treat to taste and drink at this stage. Scents of coffee, hazelnut, honey, dried flowers, menthol and candied orange peel all lift from the glass. Mature and yet also quite fresh, with terrific nuance, the 1996 R.D. is a terrific example of the timeless beauty that only Champagne can deliver.
96/100 - Antonio Galloni, Vinous (Tasted July 2019)
