Single-varietal champagnes: Placed the vintage correctly with the ripe and vibrant fruit that was typical of 2002s, but thought it was a BdB as the acidity was quite prominent still. In a good spot where the developed honeyed fruit and acidity are just about in balance, would suggest to drink this soon before it becomes more oxidative and loses its vivacity. Unanimous favourite of the night including mine.

SAC: 2002 Retrospective: First champagne of the night and of the original five the one that I went back to at the end to see if I really did like it as much as I thought or if it was just the benefit of being the first glass of champagne in my glass in the evening. This is good. It's more of that pear/apple style where it's a touch lighter and the orchard fruits and clean in style. But really drinking quite well. Something to keep an eye out for in the future. Changed the way I see this producer.

Absolutely lovely. Fresh lemon acidity and bruised yellow apples. Improves in the glass and this wine continues to impress!
