Released in January 2011, this 2002 vintage was made from a blend of 50% Chardonnay and Pinot Noir 50%. The Pinot came from the Montagne de Reims: Verzy, Mailly, Ambonnay, Verzenay, Ay and Bouzy. The Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs: Avize, Cramant, Oger, Mesnil sur Oger and Chouilly.
During 2002 the weather was moderate with little rain and a mild winter with Spring frost effecting 38 villages. The flowering started June 14th-17th. Fortunately, sunny spells at the beginning of the harvest reduced the effect of heavy August rain resulting in a high quality harvest.
The Laurent-Perrier 2002 Vintage was bottle-aged in the cellars for almost eight years and disgorged prior to release.
