The champagne Champagne Bollinger La Côte aux Enfants, vintage 2012 from the winery Champagne Bollinger has been rated in 2022 by Anne Krebiehl MW with 98 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Pinot Noir from the region Champagne in France.
An immediate nuttiness of grilled hazelnut along with freshly cut red apple peel, an edge of white pepper and melted candlewax mark the nose – very unusual. With air, this slowly verges onto baked skin of plum. That nuttiness is also apparent on the palate with a real phenolic and textural element, there is much density, almost a chewiness. Very fine acidity runs through this wine, expressing the customary Bollinger creaminess, underlined by finest foam, revealing a lovely hint of pithy bitterness, more pepper and nuances of ripeness expressed by baking spice. A most gastronomic Champagne and only at the beginning of a long trajectory.
