Champagne Bollinger La Côte aux Enfants Champagne 2013

Champagne

June 12, 2026 - Established by Jacques Bollinger between 1926 and 1934, La Côte aux Enfants is a steep hillside vineyard located on the outskirts of Aÿ. The name La Côte aux Enfants, or "the Children's Hillside," comes from local legend: the slope was once so steep that only children could climb it. That spirit of singular, almost improbable terroir is exactly what this wine delivers. This unique parcel has been a source of endless fascination, producing some of the most highly prized Pinot Noir in the region.

Champagne Bollinger R.D. 2008

Champagne

June 12, 2026 - The R.D. cuvée is the result of Madame Bollinger’s grand vision. It was an innovative and spectacular cuvée for the time when the fashion was not for old Champagnes: an old vintage, recently disgorged and with an extra-brut dosage. Releasing it promptly after disgorgement captures both the remarkable complexity and extraordinary freshness in the same glass. Fermented barrel by barrel, bottled under cork, and hand-disgorged, R.D. is one of Champagne's most original and important cuvées.

Champagne Bollinger La Grande Année 2015

Champagne

June 12, 2026 - La Grande Année is crafted only in exceptional vintages, made from the finest Grand and Premier Cru grapes. Vinified exclusively in small, old oak barrels using a rare artisanal tradition preserved by Bollinger’s master cooper, this method elevates each vintage’s character with remarkable finesse. After an extended period of lees ageing under natural cork, every bottle is still riddled and disgorged entirely by hand. A jewel of the Maison, La Grande Année is a pure expression of Bollinger’s excellence and a testament to the enduring Art of Craftsmanship.
