Laurent Perrier 2002 vintage

From one of the best vintages this century and still so fresh! 8g residual sugar so a real crowd pleaser! Weather: The 2002 vintage shaped up magnificently over the spring, with no significant frost and near-perfect flowering. Then followed a summer marked by long, sunny periods interspersed with regular cloudy and rainy spells. This helped create a harvest that was marked by great homogeneity and superb balance. Technical Information: Vineyards: 100% Grand Cru | Chardonnay: Avize, Chouilly, Cramant, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger | Pinot Noir: Ambonnay, Aÿ, Bouzy, Mailly, Verzy Grape Varieties: 50% Chardonnay, 50% Pinot Noir Ageing: 7 years on the lees Dosage: 8 g/l Jancis: 17/20 (Nov 23).Yellow straw. Sweet and rewarding on the nose. Lots of fizz. Almost aggressive! Very much more youthful than any 75-cl example! Extremely long. But sweet. (JR)
