The production of Pol Roger's Vintage 2002 Vinothèque
The Vintage 2002 Vinothèque cuvée is a blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay, sourced exclusively from villages classified as Grands Crus and Premiers Crus in the Montagne de Reims and Côte des Blancs regions. These exceptional grapes are carefully selected to ensure optimal quality.
The 2002 vintage, considered one of the most remarkable of the decade, benefited from perfect weather conditions. The harvest took place under bright sunshine, ensuring ideal ripeness of the grapes. Malolactic fermentation is carried out naturally, followed by prolonged aging on lees in the deep cellars of the house. This champagne is dosed at 7 g/L, providing a subtle balance between freshness and richness.
Exceptional aging
The Vinothèque cuvée is made from a selection reserved in the Pol Roger cellars. These bottles have benefited from optimal storage conditions in the darkness and coolness of the Épernay cellars, without movement or temperature variations. This process allows us to offer a wine of exceptional complexity and depth, while preserving its initial freshness.
