Lot #11. Moët & Chandon Dom Pérignon Brut 2002

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Region: France, Champagne.
Score: 98 AG.
"The 2002 Dom Pérignon speaks to opulence and intensity. Rich, layered and voluptuous in the glass, the 2002 shows off its flamboyant personality with flair. Butter, cooked apple and tropically-leaning fruits mesh together effortlessly. Interestingly, with time in the glass the 2002 gains in freshness and energy without losing its essential opulence. The elevated ripeness of the year gives the 2002 Dom Pérignon distinctly Puligny-Montrachet leaning inflections. Chef de Caves Richard Geoffroy adds that August that year was hot and very dry. Rain towards the end of the month and into early September freshened the vines and accelerated the final phase of ripening. This is yet another fabulous showing from the 2002, which continues to cement its reputation as a truly epic Dom Pérignon." Vinous, Oct 2015
Provenance: The Sea Cliff Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $130
