2002 Rare Champagne - Champagne Brut - 1 Bottle (0.75L)

The wines have been stored in optimal conditions: in the dark, in a cellar protected from temperature fluctuations, and laid flat on dedicated racks. They have not been moved since delivery. I have just tasted them again, and they are fantastic. 2018 : Bettane & Desseauve 18/20 2017 : Wine Advocate 95/100 2017 International Wine Challenge : Champion of Champions 2017 The Drinks Business : Champagne Master Perfectly classic, Rare Millésime 2002 combines spicy aromas with freshness, tropical scents with minerality, purity with precision. Since 2002 was an exceptional year, Rare Millésime 2002 expresses the quintessence of Rare Champagne style. Benevolent sunny weather gave a generous harvest with magnificent grapes. An exceptional summer resulted in a deep, sumptuous vintage. On the Eye : SHIMMERING Dazzling, crystal-clear, citrine yellow, enlivened by a delicate, shimmering effervescence. On the Nose : EXOTIC The first scent is subtly floral with touches of honeysuckle, iris and jasmine. Then, notes of exotic fruits (mango and kiwi), dialogue with vetiver and exotic woody scents. On the flawless nose, the mild spices reflect the wine’s depth (white pepper, ginger, smoked tea and cumin) and enhance its magnificent and complex minerality. On the Palate : SILKY The silky lace of mocha flirts with the soft breath of exotic aromas (mint tea, lime, kumquat, mango, kiwi and candied ginger) to underline the purity and the texture of this vintage. Delightful vivacity and superb bouquet of spices leads to a delicate, long finish.
