Average Critic Score: 90.0/100 based on 3 critic reviews
Veuve Clicquot's vintage wine is declared only in years the house considers worthy, and 2002 ranks among the most admired Champagne vintages of recent decades, combining ripeness with real structure. The 2002 Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin Vintage is a Pinot Noir-led blend in the house's full, vinous style, and with two decades of bottle age behind it now offers the toasty, dried-fruit complexity that mature Champagne lovers seek. Wine Spectator awarded it 93 points, with 89 points from Josh Raynolds (Vinous) and 88 points from Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate). A classic grande marque from a great year.
Floral and black licorice notes mix with rich flavors of black cherry, date and candied orange peel, with a hint of whole-grain toast. Dry and fine-grained, this vibrant wine ends with a subtle, mouthwatering finish - Wine Spectator (93 pts)
A mature vintage Champagne to enjoy with food or share at a celebration.

“Floral and black licorice notes mix with rich flavors of black cherry, date and candied orange peel, with a hint of whole-grain toast. Dry and fine-grained, this vibrant wine ends with a subtle, mouthwatering finish. Drink now through 2020.”
89 Points - Josh Raynolds, Vinous
“Pale gold. Tangerine and white peach on the nose, with notes of chalk and cinnamon lending vivacity. Firm and tangy on entry, then gains flesh and sweetness in the middle palate and offers deeper pear and melon qualities. Nicely marries richness and energy, and finishes with good clarity and resonating notes of soft citrus and orchard fruits. I get more energy here than I've seen in many recent bottlings from this house.”
88 Points - Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate
“The 2002 Vintage reveals ripe apricots and pears interwoven with floral, buttery aromatics. Most of the wine's appeal is upfront, as its persistence drops off quite a bit on the mid-palate. This is Lot 5102746, disgorged between February and March, 2006. In 2002, the blend is 60% Pinot Noir, 7% Pinot Meunier and 33% Chardonnay with 9 grams of dosage. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2012.”
