Veuve Clicquot, 2002 Vintage Brut Champagne.

Following the magnificent year of 1999, the Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin Cellar Master decided to select those wines produced from the 2002 harvests to create the very first trilogy of Veuve Clicquot champagnes in the 21st century.

Vintage 2002 boasts a brilliant pale yellow colour with lively, long-lasting effervescence. The nose is pure and complex with refined mineral flavours, underlined with flowery notes. Aerating the wine reveals hints of yellow-fleshed fruits and pastry, followed by a touch of spice.

In the mouth, the wine is silky, complex and generous with fruity and floral underlined by a hint of minerals and spices, with a touch of menthol and toast. This elegant vintage is already extremely well balanced and will continue to enchant every palate for at least 15 years.
