Regarding the Champagne Bollinger La Côte aux Enfants 2012
Bollinger's La Côte aux Enfants 2012 Champagne is a very great champagne from a single plot in Aÿ: "La Côte aux enfants".
This 100% Pinot Noir Grand Cru is a hand-crafted champagne made only from the cuvée. It has been the subject of extreme care from the vine to the cellar and has spent twice as much time in the cellar as the rules of the appellation.
Only very high quality harvests are vintaged at Bollinger and the 2012 vintage offers us an assertive and rich personality.
The robe is golden, the nose is generous, revealing aromas of hazelnut, honey and toasted notes. In the mouth, we discover aromas of fleshy fruits, honey and spices. It is all in contrast, rich and firm to finish on beautiful bitters. It is a champagne of character.
This Blanc de Noirs champagne will sublimate a poultry glazed with honey, a quail roasted with honey or an old Beaufort cheese.
To enhance its aromas, we advise you to serve this exceptional wine between 8° and 12°. You can enjoy it now or let it age a few years in the cellar for more complexity.
This champagne, the first single-vineyard cuvée of the House of Bollinger, offers lovers of great wines a unique tasting experience!
