About This Champagne
Dom Pérignon 2002 in a 6-litre Methuselah, in its original wooden case, pairs a ripe, creamy modern vintage with a very large format. It is a bottle for a big occasion.
2002 had a warm, dry spring and good flowering.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Fresh almond, candied lemon and dried fruit, with smoke and toast.
- Palate: Dense and creamy, with ripe fruit that builds through the palate and a salty freshness.
- Finish: Intense and lasting, with a subtle bitterness and a hint of liquorice.
Serving & Food
Serve at 10 to 12°C in white wine glasses, not flutes. Try langoustine, roast chicken with truffle, or steamed crab with Shaoxing wine.
Good to Know
How ripe is 2002? Very. A sunny, windy September concentrated the grapes, giving ripeness on a par with 1982 and 1990.
When should it be opened? It drinks well now and will keep through the 2030s.
