Description: History Since 1829, Champagne Bollinger has strived 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.

TASTING NOTES: A deep golden colour. Aromas of hazelnut accompany roasted, grilled and toast notes and those of dried flowers which are then followed by aromas of honey and spices (cinnamon). A generous bouquet. A firm, rich and contrasting taste. Flavours such as soft fruit and acacia honey blend with spices, which give the wine its character. The tasting is rounded off by excellent bitter notes.
