Dom Perignon Vintage 2002 Champagne
502
FRANCE
The spring was warm and dry with no significant frost and near perfect flowering. The summer was marked by long sunny periods, interspersed with regular cloudy and rainy spells. The unexpected perfect weather just before the harvest compensated for the heavy rains of late August and early September. The vines were in good health, and the dehydration of the grape berries helped them reach new heights of ripeness. The harvest began between Sept. 12 and 28. On the nose ? the first hints of fresh almond and harvest aromas immediately open up into preserved lemon and dried fruits, the whole rounded off by darker smokey and toasted qualities. On the Palate ? The presence of the wine on the palate is immediately captivating, concentrated yet creamy.
