Product notes

The Champagne area originally owed its fame to its red wines. A favorite of King Henri IV, the Pinot Noirs from the town of Aÿ were the most popular wines of the French court. La Côte aux Enfants comes from a slope just outside Aÿ. Jacques Bollinger himself reconstituted it patiently, at the beginning of the 20th century, from over 50 differently owned plots! Today, Bollinger owns all four hectares of the legendary and iconic plot.

Production notes

100% Pinot Noir from “La Côte aux Enfants” in Aÿ. One third of the harvest is vinified in whole clusters. A very small production dedicated to the greatest vintages. Vinification in the traditional Burgundy style. Aged for eight months in small old oak barrels.

April 2025 (Vintage 2015)

The 2015 Blanc de Noirs La Côte aux Enfants is tropical, rich and super-expressive right out of the gate. The Côte aux Enfants offers a decidedly mineral-drenched, racy expression of Pinot Noir, with tons of salinity and bracing vibrancy to match. The imprint of site is so strong, so compelling. Low dosage of 4 grams per liter accents the wine's energy to the maximum. The 2015 was disgorged in February 2025, so readers should plan on being at least a little bit patient. It's another very fine offering from the team at Bollinger.
