Champagne Bollinger B16

Wine Spectator - February 04, 2026 "A rich range of black cherry coulis, grilled macadamia nut, poached peach, and crystallized honey and ginger is seamlessly knit with racy acidity and a chalky underpinning in this statuesque…

Wine Advocate - March 19, 2026 "From a relatively cool, mildew-pressured year that did not deliver sufficient fruit for Aÿ to serve as the principal component—and thus precluded the making of La Grande Année—Bollinger instead opted…

Vinous - November 26, 2025 "The 2016 B16 is a small bottling from Bollinger that takes the place of the Grand Année, as conditions did not allow Bollinger to bottle their flagship cuvée in the…

Champagne Bollinger La Côte aux Enfants Rouge 2019

Coteaux Champenois

June 12, 2026 - La Côte aux Enfants Rouge is a stunning, extremely rare, still red wine produced only in the greatest vintages. This wine harmoniously combines 100% Pinot Noir Grand Cru fruit from an exceptional vineyard with traditional Burgundian style winemaking. Historically, Pinot Noirs from Aÿ were the most popular wines of the French court, specifically a favorite of King Henri IV, and La Côte aux Enfants comes from a steep plot just outside of the village. This wine is the purest expression of Pinot Noir, offering a fine, delicate texture and a tautness on the long finish.

Champagne Bollinger La Côte aux Enfants Champagne 2015

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.

Jeb Dunnuck - December 15, 2025 "Sourced from two hectares in Aÿ, this is the third release of La Côte Aux Enfants Brut, following 2012 and 2014. The 2015 Champagne Blanc De Noirs La Côte Aux…

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 PN AYC18

Champagne

June 12, 2026 - Each release of PN, developed as a series to bring Bollinger’s unique vision of Pinot Noir to light, will showcase a different cru from the base year that highlights its distinctive terroir and taste. The fourth edition of the series, PN AYC18, sources many of the grapes from Aÿ, and explores the interpretation of Pinot Noir from 2018 and features reserve wines dating back to 2009.
