Chambertin Grand Cru--Vintage 2002
12 bottles per lot
2002 Burgundy Vintage Notes. M.B. An extremely good red Burgundy vintage with some unquestionably great wines which have good colour, concentration and acidity. Overall quality in line with 1999. Brief look at the conditions. Following a fairly rare white Christmas, remaining cold for many weeks - good for the dormant vines and killing the bugs. Spring was mild, budding early. The weather during the crucial flowering period was uneven: a good start, a pause and then beneficial warmth. The summer was dry, the end of August and early September rain causing some worries. Strong northerly winds dried the vines and concentrated the fruit. Thereafter warm (not hot), sunny weather ensured perfect harvesting conditions from mid-September (around the 11th in the Cte d'Or) and an 'Indian summer'. Small crop, the smallest since 1988. Ripe grapes, thick skins, good colour, soft tannins and excellent acidity. All the hallmarks of a top wine. Chambertin Grand Cru--Vintage 2002 Côte de Nuits. Domaine-bottled: Armand Rousseau In original cartons 12 bottles per lot
