Eric was in town and David W organized an impromptu dinner. The theme was the 02 Champagne and Burgundy. Chez Billy Sud did a good job hosting us.
Have a safe trip back Eric!
2002 Taittinger Champagne Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut 96 Points
France, Champagne
Excellent freshness and elegance. Fresh apple, a hint of brioche, strong presence of mineral and strong floral note. Fine mousse, airy yet decadent palate and very precise clean finish. It is very enjoyable but will improve at least for another decade adding denser yellow fruits, honey and sweet spices.

2002 Pol Roger Champagne Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill 93 Points
France, Champagne
Much denser and riper than the CdC. Riche yellow pit fruit, also red fruits, honey and sweet spices. I didn’t notice much mineral presence. Fine mousse, sweet and sour yellow fruit driven palate impression, bright acidity and sweet deeply toned finish. This is a very rich and dense champagne. Not as good as the last bottle but still really nice.

2002 Vilmart & Cie Champagne Premier Cru Coeur de Cuvée 92 Points
France, Champagne, Champagne Premier Cru
For me very interesting and unique champagne. Very ripe sweet fruits that reminds me Pieropan passito without sugar, sweet spices, brioche, toffee, sour candy and honey. Sweet and sour yellow pit fruit driven palate impression, good density, bright acidity and sweet and sour medium finish. Very enjoyable but pretty much ready to go. Not showing much precision.
