Jean Pernet Vintage 2002 Blanc de Blancs is a true gem from Les Mesnil-sur-Oger in the heart of the Côtes des Blancs. Made from 100% Chardonnay and exclusively from the great 2002 vintage, this champagne delivers a rare combination of ripeness, minerality and elegance. A wine for connoisseurs, collectors and those who want to experience classic Grand Cru Chardonnay in its most refined form.

2002 is considered one of the great vintages in Champagne – a vintage with a perfect balance between ripe fruit and precise acidity. In Les Mesnil-sur-Oger, known for its chalky soils and rich, mineral style, the Chardonnay grape has delivered exceptional finesse and ageing potential.

Terroir – Les Mesnil-sur-Oger

Les Mesnil-sur-Oger is one of the most prestigious Grand Cru communes in the Côtes des Blancs. Here, the chalky subsoil produces wines with tight structure, citrus freshness and a characteristic chalky minerality. In the 2002 vintage, the combination of ripe fruit and vibrant acidity has created a champagne with both depth and nerve.

Tasting notes

Aroma: Elegant and complex with notes of lemon, green apples and white flowers. Underlying notes of brioche, toasted almonds and light honey testify to the wine’s maturity.

Flavor: Creamy mousse and a beautiful balance between fresh acidity and ripe fruit. Nuances of citrus, pear and lightly roasted nuts merge with a distinct mineral structure.

Finish: Long and precise with chalky freshness, fine bubbles and a persistent, elegant finish.
