($50, Laurent-Perrier USA): The 2002 Champagnes are simply gorgeous and fortunately, there are a few, like this one, still in market. Laurent -Perrier is partial to Chardonnay in their blends and it shows in this gorgeous wine. All elegance and lightness, it has a gentle, but long, persistence. It’s all about elegance, not power. 93 Michael Apstein Nov 20, 2012
