Louis Roederer 2002 Brut Vintage Champagne

Louis Roederer 2002 Brut Vintage Champagne is one of there best years and makes a superb gift.

Brut Premier Champagne is the embodiment of Louis Roederer style, combining all the fruitiness and freshness of youth with the vinosity of a fully mature champagne. This is a structured and elegantly mature champagne, with a lively attack and a smooth palate.

Champagne Blend: 56% Pinot Noir, 34% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Meunier, including 10% of reserve wines from three former harvests, aged in oak casks for 2-6 years.

Champagne Maturation: an average of three years ageing on lees, plus another six months after disgorging.

Tasting notes of Champagne: a golden colour with fine bubbles and a nose of fresh fruit and hawthorn. Smooth, complex palate mingling flavours of white-fleshed fruit (apple and pear) with red berries (blackberries, raspberries, cherries) and notes of toast and almonds. A pleasurable Champagne, deliciously smooth and mature.
