Note di degustazione
Disgorged in May 2017. Dosage 5 g/l. Tasted blind. Deep straw. Sort of mahogany nose. Lots of pleasure but not quite as intense and tight-knit as the 2004 vintage, though very long. (JR)

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.
26% Pinot Noir, 51% Chardonnay, 23% Meunier. Dosage 5.5 g/l. This is not the original release but is a late release disgorged in May 2017. 15 years on lees: 'a pretty sweet spot'. Very complex nose. Meaty, rich and (just) sufficient acidity. Long and complete. Chewy finish. Needs food! Very similar analytical profile at harvest as the 2012, apparently. (JR)
Magnum. Very rich and broad and powerful with great structure. Dry finish. (JR)
