Rare Millesime 2002

Rare Millesime 2002
Champagne, France

Perfectly classic, Rare Millésime 2002 combines spicy aromas with freshness, tropical scents with minerality, purity with precision. 

WEATHER: IDYLLIC
Benevolent sunny weather gave a generous harvest with magnificent grapes. An exceptional summer resulted in a deep, sumptuous vintage.

TO 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.
