The 2002 Vintage in Champagne

After a perfect flowering, a warm, sunny summer follows, which, with sufficient rain, promotes healthy, ripe grapes. In the weeks leading up to the harvest, the grapes begin to shrivel, leading to unique ripeness and concentration. The absence of heat preserves a classic structure. At least for Pinot Noir, 2002 is a great vintage.

      The 2002 Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill is the stunning 2008's closest challenger in the decade, bursting with aromas of confit citrus, stone fruits, mandarin, sweet dried fruits, smoke and iodine. Full-bodied, layered and vinous, it's deep and multidimensional, with broad shoulders, terrific concentration and a long, resonant finish. In style, this shares all of 2012's breadth and flesh but brings more structure and tension to the equation. Still youthful today, the 2002 will drink well for the next two decades from a cold cellar.
