Description

Dom Perignon Vintage Champagne 2002
Bottle (2)


"The 2002 Dom Pérignon is at first intensely floral, with perfumed jasmine that dominates the bouquet. With time in the glass the wine gains richness as the flavors turn decidedly riper and almost tropical. Ripe apricots, passion fruit and peaches emerge from this flashy, opulent Dom Pérignon. The wine's volume makes it approachable today, but readers in search of more complexity will want to cellar this for at least a few years to allow for some of the baby fat to drop off." (96 pts. Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate, Dec. 2010)

“I remember the first time I tasted the 2002 Dom Pérignon with then-Chef de Caves Richard Geoffroy at Hautvillers. It was the upcoming release at the time. As was his custom, Geoffroy served the 2002 in a flight that included a number of previous releases. The bouquet was immediately stunning for its audacity. I had never tasted anything like it. Two thousand-two was a year marked by extreme ripeness in the Chardonnays, and that opulence has always been a big part of the wine’s profile. Today, what strikes me most about the 2002 is its timelessness. That youthful opulence remains, yet the 2002 is still vibrant, almost shocking in its freshness. Apricot, ripe peach, tangerine oil, butter and dried flowers all build towards a captivating crescendo of aromas and flavors that saturates the finish. Readers can look forward to another two decades of exceptional drinking.” (98 pts. Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Dec. 2022)

“Wonderfully caressing and origin typical. A great Dom Pérignon that charms from the start, but certainly not to be opened over the next five years. The silkiness and balance impresses me most along with a fluffy cream tone and stylish nuttiness.” (93 pts. Richard Juhlin, Champagne Club, Sept. 2022)
