This is a deep and profound 2002 with such fine bubbles that have the texture of fine silk. Full body. Extremely dense and compact. Just rolls over your palate. Superb quality and satisfaction, after all this time.

Pol Roger’s 2002 Brut Vintage is showing beautifully, bursting from the glass with an expressive bouquet of confit lemon and pear mingled with nuances of brioche, wheat toast, honeycomb and dried white flowers. Full-bodied, broad and textural, this is a rich, vinous Champagne that’s ample and complex, underpinned by lively acids and concluding with a long, saline finish. (WK)

Cult Wines International Notes:

The 2002 Pol Roger Vintage Brut is a classic expression of the year, combining the traditional Pol Roger characteristics of power and elegance with the exceptional concentration of the 2002 vintage. As a house, Pol Roger is celebrated for its precise blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier, and its deep, cool cellars, which allow for slow, complex maturation.

A harmonious marriage of Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs and Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims, the 2002 offers a broad, sophisticated profile. On the palate, it delivers rich flavors of golden apple, white peach, toasted spices, and ginger, underpinned by the distinctive chalky minerality expected from a great vintage. With its hallmark fine mousse and firm, age-worthy structure, this Champagne is built for the long haul and remains a benchmark for the quality of the 2002 growing season.
