Tasting note
The 2002 Blanc de Noirs should suggest baked apple, preserved lemon and a faint hazelnut note, with Pinot Meunier lending gentle fruit. Berru's cool, chalky character is expected to meet a softened mousse and mellow acidity, making bottle condition central to its current shape. The projected drinking period ended in 2009. If still sound, it may close quietly with dried pear, citrus pith and a restrained savory trace.
