Features
Regarding climate conditions, the year 2002 was optimal. It was a year characterised by plenty of sunshine and regular rain that increased a short time before the harvest, which contributed to achieve new and better levels of ripeness in the grapes. Therefore, the harvest was exceptional.
According to Richard Geffrey, the head of the winery, this vintage is more accessible and attractive, and its wine is more powerful than in other vintages, thanks to the ripeness of the grapes.
Color
Pale yellow with golden reflections. Bright and clean. Fine and continuous chain of bubbles that forms a good crown on the surface.
Nose
The intense floral notes appear first. Immediately, a surprising explosion of aromas of ripe fruit (apricot) almost tropical and citrus appear along with a wide range of nuts, bakery and yeast and some hints provided during the ageing such as the subtle smoky and toasty nuances. Complexity of aromas that are very elegantly presented.
Flavour
The Dom Perignon Vintage 2002 captivated us immediately with its soft and silky mid palate. It is intense and warm and fresh at the same time, its aromas are dominated by the notes of fruit that gradually give way to some hints of cream, nuts, spices,... In the background, a subtle and elegant bitter touch is perceived. Rich and opulent flavours, with a wonderful ending.
