This is their 2002 Vintage Brut but the top of the bottle reads 250 ANS? Maybe, an anniversary bottling. I do seek out Veuve Clicquot as much of what I’ve tried from them hasn’t to my liking. There are simply producers I enjoy more at or under their price points. But, this was quite good & the best offering I've had from them. Enjoyed it. Better than all the vintages of Grande Dame I've had. Having said that, it is not on the same par as the 02 Rare and 02 Billecart. It was showing the right spot to starting drinking it. More reductive than oxidative. Lively, fresh acidity. Citrus blend, some of both apples, a little white stone fruit, nice brioche, soft playful yeastiness, excellent fine chalkiness, alluvial limestone, spring flowers and well done, balanced, structured, tensioned, elegant and not overly polished finish that lasted 90 seconds. Pour at the Saturday Pebble Beach Food & Wine walk around “From the Cellar” dinner

Ripe/intense/over dosed, everything you want from a slutty NM, it works with certain dishes, but this isn't an apéritif Champagne by any means.

2002 vintage. Medium gold hue. On opening struck match, coffee, mushroom, apricot and peach, tamarind. Very alluring. On the palate, rich and pure at the same time, nutty and warming. Crisp acidity, medium body, toasty. Complex. Medium plus concentration and long lingering finish. Love it! Drink now until 2025+ 93 points
