Dom Ruinart Brut Vintage 2002 Champagne 750ml/Btl 6/case

Description

David Schildknecht: Close to 30% of the Chardonnay that as always
(despite the absence of "blanc de blancs" from its label) dominates
Ruinart's prestige cuvee comes – specifically in the case of their
2002 Brut Dom Ruinart – from the northern Montagne de Reims, though
the rest is from the Cote des Blancs (predominantly Avize and
Chouilly). Hints of lees autolysis and heliotrope perfume cap a
nose in which very ripe sickle pear predominates. Happily, an
efficacious squirt of fresh lime lends refreshing and vivacious
acidity to the pear on a lush and gently effervescent palate.
Pungently struck-flint and iodine-like notes as well as hints of
lightly toasted almond and hazelnut add allure to a generously
fruity finish. This might well reward a couple of years' bottle
age, though its highly appealing present personality is very much
tied up with freshness.
