2002 Dom Perignon - Unforgettable Vintage In Stock

In Stock & Ready to Ship 

2002 Dom Perignon!

 

In terms of the 'big house' producers, it's one of our favorites. Pound for pound, these are tough to beat. They mature unbelievably well, and if you have the opportunity to get your hands on their extended aging releases, they are a joy to experience. While a bottle of 2002 Krug will run you close to $600, you can get your hands on a bottle of 2002 Dom Perignon for nearly half the price - Just $315/bottle!

 

As we know, Dom Perignon only produces vintage Champagne. What does this mean? It means that they have an unyielding commitment to bear witness to the harvest of a single year, whatever the challenges, even going as far as not declaring a vintage. Typically, only six vintage each decade meet their high standards. Always a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, and always absolutely delicious. 

 

 Pristine original cases, bought on release, in quantities you won't find anywhere else.

  

"2002 ranks alongside 2008 when it comes to the best vintages of the decade." - Decanter 

 

"The 2002 Dom Pérignon is unforgettable. Rich, sumptuous and flamboyant to the core." - Galloni

 

The 2002 Dom Pérignon is unforgettable. Rich, sumptuous and flamboyant to the core, the 2002 captures all of the radiance of a year in which ripeness in the Chardonnays was pushed to the edge. The 2002 is oily and viscous on the palate, with tremendous textural resonance in all of its dimensions. Tropical fruit, pastry and exotic floral notes all build as the 2002 opens up with air. I can still remember the first time I tasted the 2002, here in the Hautvillers cloister, with former Chef de Caves Richard Geoffroy. It was thrilling back then, and is every bit as memorable today. -AG98

 

Wonderful elegance and balance to this Dom Pérignon with cooked apple, lemon and hints of white pepper and salt. It’s medium-bodied with really fine bubbles and balance. Spicy at the end. So wonderfully fresh, linear and long. Racy and elegant. A DP that invites to drink right now. All about finesse. Tension, too, with precise phenolics and bright acidity on the back palate. Subtle energy. -JS97
