Laurent-Perrier has chosen to make vintages very rarely, only selecting the very best years. This makes Laurent-Perrier Vintage a rare and outstanding wine that clearly expresses the specific character of a year albeit in the Laurent-Perrier style.

The 2002 harvest
A high-quality harvest with exceptional ripeness. The growing year saw very few weather incidents, low rainfall and a relatively mild winter. A few local spring frosts affected 38 communes to a greater or lesser degree.
Full flowering took place from 14-17 June in extremely favourable conditions. As the harvest got underway, a period of unexpected sunshine tempered the effect of the plentiful late-August rainfall.

A cold winter and a mild late spring cued for a perfect June allowing early and fast flowering. Outstanding weather conditions prevailed and the season went on without dramatic turns.

Written Notes
50% Chardonnay, 50% Pinot Noir. RS 8 g/l.
Tasted blind. Deeper gold than most. Quite broad and even oaky – sort of Bollinger style. Quite evolved aromatically with a hint of cheesiness. Bone dry on the end. Seems as though it is just losing a bit of fruit in the middle. Falls off very slightly on the end, but compared with the others there is good energy and I ended up upgrading it from 16.5. Very slightly bitter finish.
TASTINGNOTE Kliniskt ren, ultraelegant och krispigt stenig med en fragilt tunt lager av silkighet som kommer att växa till sig fint över tiden. Spänstiga friska frukter och syror, lätt ton av knäckebröd och de omisskänliga nytvättade lakanen.
