History
The Champagne region was initially known for its red wines and, as the preferred wines of Henry IV, Pinot Noirs from Aÿ were a favourite of the French Court. La Côte aux Enfants is made from grapes grown on a steep plot on the outskirts of Aÿ. At the beginning of the 20th Century, Jacques Bollinger gradually reconstructed the vineyard, which had previously been owned by more than 50 landowners! Bollinger has been the soul proprietor of this 4ha lieu dit ever since.
