Definition: RD (recently disgorged)

This process, unique to Bollinger, is often imitated by many producers who cannot use the RD label. However, it is common for the date of disgorgement to appear on the label.

During an English-language tour of Bollinger, we were told, as a little anecdote, that RD has always been highly prized at the court of the Queen of England. However, malicious tongues mention that this abbreviation can also mean "recently divorced"!
