  • We absolutely caught this wine right in the heart of its prime drinking window. A good, not great vintage for Champagne in my eyes (and experience), I was still excited to dive into Dom Pérignon's offering that I suspected would be as stellar of an example as you can get from the year. I was not wrong as it was drinking at its peak on the day - exactly what you want out from the maison. The nose boasted incredible florality, aided by maturer scents of hazelnut and almond before being balanced out by hints of flint and peach, coming off quite pronounced. The palate still had some racy acidity, boasting great complexity. An upfront of stone fruits and green apple led into a mid-palate packed with notes of yeast, brioche and lemon peel before the finish felt well-rounded through a cream note. This is a full-bodied beast tamed by maturity and is absolutely in its zone right now.

  • Light very fine bubbles, weightless and fantastic balance of maturing fruits, toast and bubbles.

  • My eight bottle.

    Pronounced nose intensity with notes of toast, bread, yeasty, lemon, almond. High acidity. Drinking at its peak now.

  • At Home Dinner. This is a delicious bottle of Dom with considerable richness and grip rather than sheer elegance. There is a lovely mouthful of fruit well balanced by brioche and nuts leading into a fine finish where there was a real sense of grape tannin and matiere rather than acidity.
