Champagne Bollinger La Côte aux Enfants 2015 (94 DE)
“Produced from the Bollinger monopole near the top of the south-facing slope in Aÿ, the wine is fermented in tank with one-third whole clusters after a six-day maceration and bottled after eight months in cask. The result is fragrant and perfumed, with high-toned cherry and currant fruit and a lovely mineral/saline edge. The tannins are firm, and the texture is vibrantly fresh.” – C.C.

Coteaux Champenois
A stunning and extremely rare, still red wine produced only for the greatest vintages. This wine harmoniously combines 100% Pinot Noir Grand Cru fruit from an exceptional vineyard with traditional Burgundian style winemaking. Historically, Pinot Noirs from Aÿ were the most popular wines of the French court, specifically a favorite of King Henri IV, and La Côte aux Enfants comes from a steep plot just outside of the village. This wine is the purest expression of Pinot Noir, offering a fine, delicate texture in the mouth, and a tautness giving it a beautifully long finish.

Bollinger is one of the rare Grande Marques that’s still family owned. Known for its rich, elegant and polished style of Champagne, their outstanding wines are the result of rigorous attention to detail and incredibly labor-intensive practices that few houses are willing to undertake. Underscoring its excellence, Bollinger has remained British secret agent James Bond's Champagne of choice since 1973.
