A Savage Weekend for Chica’s 45th; 5/16/2024-5/19/2024: Few celebrations can start better than with a magnum of Dom Pepe. And rightly so. Impressive as always, young but at a very good time in its drinking window, glossy, bright, laser focussed and now ( 5 years since we had this last , Papies 93) finally showing more and giving more. Loved how reductive this still is and with a lot more life ahead . Long live the magnums and pls proper white wine glasses for this, no flutes( they are for beer). 94 and full of life

Nose of celery, brioche, strawberry. Fat yet delineated, opulent Chardonnay fruit, fine mousse, hint of milk chocolate on the finish, with a mineral backbone.

Stunning. A great bottle, best of the lot of six I purchased in 2018. Vivid flavors, cashmere textures, and a long, complex finish. This is why you age champagne.

Very pale yellow colour. Incredibly precise and elegant with a lovely lemon oil note. Thrilling.
