2016 Coteaux Champenois Rouge, La Côte aux Enfants, Bollinger, ChampagneLong before Champagnes famous bubbles, the region was renowned for its red wines. Bollingers La Cte aux Enfants revives this legacy with modern viticulture. Sourced from a steep, four hectare Grand Cru plot in A, this hauntingly perfumed 100% Pinot Noir offers elegance and great cellaring potential. Aromas of black rose petals, damson, and spiced forest fruit lead to a balanced palate of wild red berries, bramble, and subtle spice framed by graphite

Readers will have to be patient with the 2014

So the family are clearly not closing the door on the possibility of releasing single Grand Cru vineyard wines

The medium-bodied flavors possess exemplary mid-palate concentration as the copious dry extract really coats the palate and does a fine job of buffering the phenolically mature tannins that are quite firm but not hard

An exemplary vintage has helped to produce a wine of stunning concentration and balance

” With a string of very good vintages such as 2008

there’s an appealing lift of spice on the nose

clean and complex Ducru with sophisticated
