Blend consisting of Chardonnay (51%), Pinot Noir (26%) and Meunier (23%). A complex and mature nose, with notes of pear, citrus, mirabelle plum, nectarine: after 15 years of maturation, the initial fruity notes still linger, and become even more candied. But its maturity is evident: dark and toasted, with warm notes of crispbread and mocha, nougatine and cinnamon biscuits, grilled chestnut and cigar. A smattering of scrubland aromas and honey notes add to the complexity.

“Disgorged in May 2017, the 2002 Extra Brut Grand Vintage Collection has acquired appreciable complexity from its 15 years sur lattes, offering up aromas of honeyed citrus fruit that mingle with nuances of smoke, iodine and brown butter. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, broad and impressively vinous, with a textural attack, good depth at the core and a pinpoint mousse, concluding with a sapid, saline finish. It should drink well for another decade.” - William Kelley - “Disgorged in May 2017, the 2002 Extra Brut Grand Vintage Collection has acquired appreciable complexity from its 15 years sur lattes, offering up aromas of honeyed citrus fruit that mingle with nuances of smoke, iodine and brown butter.

The 2002 Brut Grand Vintage opens with attractive hints of smoke and licorice, followed by dried pears, apricots and peaches. The 2002 is a sensual Grand Vintage endowed with gorgeous depth and terrific overall balance. The up-front intensity trails off just a bit on the finish. Otherwise, this is a very fine showing. This is Lot LAF 3M AO.

Pale, delicate, tight bead. Beery, yeasty nose. Frothy and mildly sweet. Not much zest. Absolutely ready! I can’t really see the point of paying extra for this. (JR)

The Pillar of Champagne Excellence

Moët & Chandon, founded by Claude Moët in 1743, quickly gained favor among European nobility during King Louis XV’s reign. Jean-Rémy Moët, Claude's grandson, expanded the brand internationally, with a notable friendship with Napoleon Bonaparte, who frequently visited the estate and inspired the creation of Moët Impérial​.

In 1832, the company was renamed Moët et Chandon, incorporating Pierre-Gabriel Chandon de Briailles as a partner. The house launched its first vintage Champagne in 1842 and introduced the renowned Dom Pérignon label​.

Now part of the LVMH group, Moët & Chandon has the largest vineyard in Champagne and extensive cellars for aging their wines. Cellar master Benoît Gouez upholds the brand’s signature style, blending grapes from various terroirs to create a harmonious product.
