2012 Champagne Bollinger, La Côte aux Enfants, Aÿ, Grand Cru, Brut burgundy It’s a fine effort fromA wine which exudes elegant notes of dried flowers, Mirabelle plum, pastry and hazelnuts on the nose. It has medium density on the palate, but there is excellent vinosity as well as a chiselled precision. Endowed as it is with a compelling mouthfeel brimming with tactile tension and mouthwatering salinity, this is a gastronomic Champagne that cries out for a dish to pair with. Bravo for this exceptional bottling! Disgorged: March 2022. Dosage: 8g L.
