About this Item

Brut Millesime 2002
1 (1 x 1) 1500ml
Alfred Gratien, founded in Épernay in 1864, is one of the last houses, alongside Krug, to ferment all its wines in old oak casks and without malolactic, its cellar guided by four generations of the Jaeger family. The style is deliberately traditional, long-aged and 'old English' in character, its vintage Champagnes resting many years on the lees before release. 2002 was one of the great modern Champagne vintages, ripe yet structured, giving wines of depth and long ageing potential. Offered here in magnum.

Provenance

The late David Brice was a respected wine connoisseur, collector and co-founder of Brice and Burnett – The Fine Wine Specialists (formerly Wine Cellar). His lifelong passion for wine from all corners of the world wine, and generosity, helped develop a culture of fine wine in South Africa and beyond. Always with value and authenticity in mind, the collection spans a wide range of styles from leading producers and diverse regions. The wines were professionally imported under refrigeration and carefully stored at Brice and Burnett (formerly Wine Cellar) thereafter. Many of the producers are not available in South Africa and provide an excellent buying opportunity.

For more detailed information on the lots, please feel free to contact Roland Peens (roland@briceandburnett.co.za). Roland spent many years sharing and enjoying these wines with David Brice and is happy to provide further insight into the collection.
