Since 1829, Champagne Bollinger has worked to make the Champagne terroir ever more perfect, and its identity is clear in the wines produced by the Maison. Through continuous research and innovation, Champagne Bollinger has enriched their understanding of the many profiles of La Côte aux Enfants vineyard, located in  Aÿ. It is a legendary parcel of land, which was established with great perseverance by Jacques Bollinger himself between 1926 and 1934.

Aware of its potential, it became Champagne Bollinger’s ambition to produce a great vintage champagne of 100% Pinot Noir. The grapes came from the north-west side of the hill, revealing an otherwise hidden side of La Côte aux Enfants vineyard. La Côte aux Enfants Champagne became Champagne Bollinger’s first single plot cuvée, offering fine wine enthusiasts a truly unprecedented tasting experience.

“Complex aromas of pie crust, iron, chalk and hints of sweet strawberries. Some ginseng. Full-bodied with very fine bubbles that give it tension and focus. Extremely fine and polished tannins that go on and on. Dried lemons and oranges. Chalk at the end. Hints of bitterness in the finish with subtle botanicals. Made from a single vineyard monopole of pure pinot noir. Drink now.”

“The 2013 La Côte aux Enfants is a rich, heady Champagne. Passion fruit, candied apricot, white flowers, vanillin, spice and tangerine oil all race across the palate. Deep and layered, with notable complexity, the 2013 is decidedly racy. Interestingly, the 2013 is much more expressive than the 2012 was at this stage. The 2013 was picked at 11.12% potential alcohol. Dosage is 4 grams per liter. In just its second release, the La Côte aux Enfants seems headed in a very positive direction.”
