The Champagne La Côte aux Enfants 2013 by Maison Bollinger is the embodiment of founder Jacques Bollinger's visionary spirit.
Since its foundation in 1829, Maison Bollinger has been sublimating the terroir of the Champagne region, whose identity is expressed in the wines it produces. The desire to preserve and enhance this terroir continues, and La Côte aux Enfants is one of the best examples of this value, the fruit of research conducted on this eponymous parcel located in the village of Aÿ, classified as Grand Cru.
Made of 100% Pinot Noir, from the Lieu-Dit of the same name, this Champagne Blanc de Noirs has benefited from a cellar maturation time of over 9 years before dégorgement. A decidedly rich Champagne with a strong personality that offers a new vision of Maison Bollinger's know-how and vineyard,.
The vintage 2013 was characterised by a succession of particular climatic conditions: a rainy spring combined with a hot summer with the strongest sunshine ever recorded in the Champagne region. Despite these strong constraints, this vintage offered high quality grapes, particularly for the Grand Cru d'Aÿ.
The Champagne La Côte aux Enfants 2013 by Maison Bollinger is golden in colour with golden yellow highlights. On the nose it reveals notes of menthol and ripe fruit complemented by aromas of acacia honey and citrus fruits. On the palate it is lively and complex, with a nice acidity. Aromas of lemon, ripe fruit and curry accompany buttery and candied red fruits hints.
In 1829 Jacques Bollinger, together with Athanase de Villermont, founded in Aÿ the Maison under his name. Thanks to the priviledge position of the vineyards and a deep quality moral, the Bollinger Maison has acquired a solid reputation at international level, thanks to the style and wine quality for its Champagnes. Today the family still runs the Maison Bollinger in order to maintain a high production level. In 1992 the family wrote down its Ethic & Quality Principles, lying down all methods followed by the family to produce Champagne. The vineyards of the Maison Bollinger extend over a surface of 160 hectares within the territory of Grands Crus and Premier Crus champenoise, covering up to 70% of the grape need, witha stable quality over time. The remaining 30% comes from selected grapes from other wine-growers in the Grand and Premier Cru territories as well. The Maison Bollinger only uses wines coming from the first pressing, carefully controlling the following steps. Bollinger style is based on Pinot Noir, especially from Aÿ, Bouzy and Verzenay. The typical features of these villages grant the wines richness, vinousity and roundness. Grand Crus and Premier Crus are part of the assemblage of Grande Année and for 80% in Special Cuvée, giving Bollinger wines their structure and complexity. The vins de réserve rest in corked Magnum bottles under a light froth, cru by cru, vine by vine, year by year. This unique methos in Champagne allows the Maison Bollinger to store its wines for a long time, also keeping their original freshness and character. The Maison Bollinger owns a real winehouse and this helps in the creation of Special Cuvée, obtained after a careful selection of cru, vine and year.
