Product Description
AVAILABILITY: 3 BOTTLES IN STOCK

NOTES: La Côte aux Enfants Champagne is a wine composed of 100% Grand Cru pinot noir, from the single La Côte aux Enfants plot. This champagne has been cellar aged with natural cork for twice as long as required by appellation. Dosage is low, 4 grams per litre.

Acquired 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.

Appearance:
Saffron yellow in colour.

Nose:
Extremely fresh on the nose, which is full of bergamot and citrus fruits like lemon, clementine and orange. Later, fruity notes of Mirabelle plum and candied lemon bring a touch of sweetness and elegance.

Palate:
The palate is defined by flavours of ripe quince and dried fruits, bringing an elegant texture. A very sophisticated structure supported by a lovely, lively acidity. The finish is long and saline, giving a lasting impression of depth and freshness.

Tasting:
To fully appreciate the unique style, bouquet and aromas of La Côte aux Enfants Champagne 2013, it is best served between 8 and 10°C. You can enjoy this wine now, or choose to age it in your cellar.
