This is a special wine for me. Not only because it was eye opening, but it elevated my interest in wine. To try it again and see it's evolution was truly a privilege. An opera of secondary aromas. Nutty, especially walnuts and almond with biscuit notes. Intense ripe apples, while beautifully textured. Bubbles were not boisterous, but were soothing and gentle towards the end. A wine that makes you think. What a memorable moment. — 8 years ago

Freshly released by krug, unsure if its commercially available at this time. Soon. Super bright bubbley briochey nutty yum. Consumed with the other 02 offerings from one of the 250 3 packs made — 8 years ago

Always good, never had a Les Pavots I didn't like, this one isn't as refined as 02 & 07 but still worth the price, — 10 years ago

02 Montee : glorious mid lemon, sparkling bright; cx nose, touch of lanolin, cheese rind, mineral, lifted; xlnt attack! Really extraordinary tension for a 12 yo white, mineral, complex medium weight palate , fresh and zippy, wet stones, long singing zinging aftertaste. Bravo M Raveneau. — 11 years ago

CVed 1/16/18. A mini vertical of '02-'03-'05 after yesterday's '05. Lightest ruby color of three. Earthy autumn leaves and red brutes on nose. Silky well balanced palate and neon body with good lively texture and complex delicious finish. Better drinking more than the '05. Supposed more feminine and better balance. Wow, opened 2/1/23 and it’s fine! Great with Evan’s Salted Crispy Pork. — 8 years ago

Much riper and fuller than I'd expect for 02-- or Margaux. Loving the prospect of this with a steak that's about to be grilled up. — 9 years ago

The last champagne vintage I went deep in was 1996, but this bottle of 2002 Lanson Gold label made me wonder if I hadn't made a mistake on the 02 vintage. Pulled out of the rack for a Friday night sushi dinner, I was rocking back on my heels from the quality of this wine. Beautifully opulent with yeasty richness that was heartstopping
and delicious. The depth of flavor just way more than I had expected for $65. Acidity quite subsided and the wine had tipped over to its mature character that I associate with older, more expensive tete de cuvees. Yeasty, voluptuous, baked apples and some lemon curd. Nice combination. Mmmm... This bubbly wrapped itself around me with grace and turned me into a fan. I have six more bottles - they won't live to see the new year... — 10 years ago

Even better than the normal 02 which is in itself stunning. 100% Grand Cru. Quite toasty and
mealy nose, intense. Floral notes also, elderflower. Zip of freshness on the palate makes a remarkable combination with the toasty depth. Very fine and
slow bubbles. — 10 years ago

Has held up quite nicely considering sir Parker's initial 86 rating. Great earthiness, black fruit, tobacco and spice and completely smooth and lacking any tannins whatsoever. Was go time 5 years ago but still held up quite nicely - Carl's place 06-02-16 — 9 years ago

One of the greatest Cab's to have ever been released in CA. I still think the '01 is superior... The '02 is phenomenal but it's time I to drink. It's not getting any better. 💯 — 10 years ago
