Bollinger La Côte aux Enfants 2013 — a rare still red Pinot Noir from a storied single vineyard in Aÿ.
From the house of Bollinger (founded 1829), master of powerful, Pinot Noir-led Champagne. La Côte aux Enfants is a steep, south-facing Pinot Noir vineyard in Aÿ; in the best years its fruit becomes this still red Coteaux Champenois — no bubbles, just refined, oak-aged Pinot Noir of real depth and pedigree.
Elegant and fine-boned, with silky tannins and bright acidity. Red cherry and raspberry are layered with red-fruit compote and gentle oak spice, lifted by delicate violet and earthy notes into a long finish.
