Bollinger La Cote Aux Enfants Pinot Noir Champagne 2016
Region: Champagne
Sub Region: Ay
Variety: Pinot Noir
Country: France
Vintage: 2016
The Wine
A great wine from a single 4-hectare parcel belonging solely to Champagne Bollinger. La Côte aux Enfants comes from a slope just outside Aÿ. Jacques Bollinger himself reconstituted it patiently, at the beginning of the 20th century, from over 50 differently owned plots! Today, Bollinger owns all four hectares of the legendary and iconic plot.
100% pinot noir from Aÿ, from the “La Côte aux Enfants” plot, with a third harvested as whole clusters (vendange entière). Burgundian vinification. Aged for eight months in small oak barrels. A secret production reserved for the greatest vintages.
Cellared Says
A personal Cellar addition, and a Curio if ever there was. Yes, Bolly make still, red Pinot Noir from a highly prized walled vineyard in Ay. A lovely, light as would be expected from the cooler Champagne climate, pinot that’s building great presence at 9 years of age. Blackcurrant, Cranberry, Chalky minerality zippy acidity and great subtle oak influence.
