Disgorged in January 2023, the 2015 Dom Pérignon shows a singular, ethereal profile with aromas of white pepper, iodine, ripe orchard fruits, toast, smoke, herbs and spices. Medium to full-bodied, layered, and structured, it’s enveloping and round with a delicate phenolic mid-palate that underlines chalky dry extracts, concluding with a sapid, penetrating finish with gastronomic bitterness. This iteration of Dom Pérignon, though replete with the customary charm and vinous generosity that typify the label, distinguishes itself by its structural delicate austerity and a notably phenolic profile, giving rise to a remarkably linear and well-defined style that diverges markedly from the more familiar expressions of Dom Pérignon. This is a blend of 51% Pinot Noir and 49% Chardonnay with a dosage of 4.5 grams per liter; it will age wonderfully and can be enjoyed now or over the next 20 years.
Disgorged in October 2022, the 2013 Dom Pérignon is a charming and elegant vintage for this cuvée. It reveals complex aromas of buttery pastry, spices, citrus oil, almonds, honey and, with aeration, a touch of smoke. The palate is medium to full-bodied, perfectly balanced, with a chiselled and tightly wound profile. The long, cool growing season has brought freshness and a delicate earthy note to the finish.
The 2012 Dom Pérignon is developing very nicely on cork, exhibiting a complex bouquet of pear, confit citrus fruits, honeycomb, buttered toast, iodine and nuts framed by a deft touch of youthful reduction. Full-bodied, rich and muscular, with a layered core of fruit and a pillowy mousse, it's a vinous, vibrant Champagne that concludes with a saline finish.

A charming, demonstrative vintage for this cuvée, the 2010 Dom Pérignon bursts with notes of mandarin, golden orchard fruit, toasted bread, almonds and petrol. Medium to full-bodied, rabid and ample, with a fleshy core of fruit and an open-knit, giving style, it has taken on a bit of texture since I last tasted it, but it remains fundamentally forward and immediate.

Dom Pérignon - Brut
Dom Pérignon is a world-renowned champagne producer, known for their exceptional quality and taste. This particular champagne is a brut, which means it is dry and crisp, with a refreshing finish.
The history of Dom Pérignon dates back to the 17th century, when the Benedictine monk Dom Pierre Pérignon began experimenting with different grape varieties and winemaking techniques. He was instrumental in developing the méthode champenoise, which is still used today to produce champagne.
When it comes to taste, Dom Pérignon Brut is characterized by its delicate aromas of white flowers, citrus fruits, and brioche. On the palate, it is lively and fresh, with notes of green apple and lemon zest. The finish is long and complex, with hints of toasted almonds and honey.
This champagne is perfect for special occasions, such as weddings, anniversaries, or New Year's Eve celebrations. It pairs well with seafood, particularly oysters and caviar, as well as with light appetizers and desserts.
Overall, Dom Pérignon Brut is a classic champagne that embodies the elegance and sophistication of the French wine tradition. Its rich history and exceptional taste make it a must-try for any wine lovers.
Aroma's van verse brioche, groene peer, wasachtige citrusschil, jodium en subtiele autolytische topnoten mengen zich in een uitnodigend bouquet, waarmee de 2009 Dom Pérignon wordt geïntroduceerd. Het is een medium tot volle, brede en vlezige wijn die rijk en textuurvol is, met een goede concentratie en levendige zuren ondanks het feit dat dit de rijpste versie is in de geschiedenis van deze cuvée. Zoals ik eerder dit jaar schreef, terwijl de wijn open en omhullend is, is er hier ook genoeg energie en structuur om een goed rijpingspotentieel op middellange termijn te beloven, iets dat duidelijker wordt naarmate de wijn wat puppyvet verliest.
De 2008 Dom Pérignon is ongetwijfeld de beste Dom Pérignon van het decennium en drinkt vandaag briljant, met toetsen van citrusolie, rijp boomgaardfruit, perzik, beboterde toast, banketbakkersroom, jodium en rokerige reductie. Hij is vol, rijk en vlezig, wijnachtig en gelaagd, met een diepe kern van zoet fruit, pittige zuren en een lange, zilte afdronk. De 2008 rijpt zeer gracieus.

The 2006 Dom Pérignon comes from a very rich vintage with an early ripeness that brought a lot of aromatic maturity. The white-golden prestige cuvée contains a bit more Chardonnay than Pinot Noir and opens with a deep and seductive, pretty accessible nose with intense yet fresh fruit aromas of pineapples, with peaches and tangerines. Lively and elegant on the palate, this is a full-bodied, unusually aromatic and fruity DP with a long and tension-filled expression.

The 2005 Dom Pérignon has a brilliant white-golden color and is intense on the yeasty nose, where vegetal aromas along with almond and rather discreet fruit flavors are displayed, before they intensify and become more rich. Firm, fresh and elegant, this is a full-bodied, complex and pretty rich, well concentrated and creamy-textured DP with a tightly woven structure; it has a still somewhat edgy finish. There is bit more Pinot Noir than usual in this blend, whereas the produced quantity is relatively low. Due to strict selections, just the half of the normal quantity was produced.
De 2004 Dom Pérignon is een van de meer reductieve, autolytische jaargangen van deze wijn die het afgelopen decennium zijn uitgebracht, met een toasty bouquet van peren, groene appel, jodium, perzik en rook. In de mond is hij medium tot vol, satijnachtig en vlezig, met een zoete kern van fruit, een fijne mousse en een wijnachtig profiel. De 2004 drinkt vandaag goed: zoals ik eerder dit jaar schreef, tussen de rijke, rijpe 2002 en de krachtige maar pittige 2008, is de 2004 een uitstekend maar klassieker geproportioneerd voorbeeld van Dom Pérignon.
The 2003 Dom Pérignon is maturing very gracefully in bottle, wafting from the glass with aromas of smoke, bread dough, waxy lemon rind and confit citrus. On the palate, the wine is ample, vinous and full-bodied but retains excellent definition, and it's structured around chewy dry extract from mature skins, which compensates for its comparative lack of acidity. It will be interesting to follow its evolution over the coming decade.

A stronger vintage than expected, the 1998 Dom Perignon exhibits aromas and flavors of lemon oil, orange rind, and brioche in a medium-bodied, zesty, rich, moderately intense style. It is far superior to either the 1993 or 1992. Readers should remember that the 1971 Dom Perignon Rose is still drinking exquisitely. I recently had the 1969 and 1970 Dom Perignons (from magnum), and both were drinking brilliantly. It makes one realize just how long-lived these wines can be. Production is confidential, but there must be hundreds of thousands of cases of Dom Perignon since it available in most of the world’s luxury hotels and restaurants.
The brilliant 1996 Dom Perignon, which has largely disappeared from the marketplace, may be the finest young example of DP I have ever tasted. Notes of crushed rocks, honeysuckle, lemon oil, orange marmalade, and white pear provide a stunning aromatic display as well as palate impression. Great acidity and huge flavor intensity backed up by vibrant acidity make this an exquisite Champagne. It should drink well for 20-25 years, possibly longer.

The profoundly rich 1990 Dom Perignon is a creamy-textured, full styled offering that loses none of its elegance in spite of its flavor authority. It will improve for 5-10 years, and appears capable of surpassing the fabulous 1985 and 1982. It seems obvious that the quality of the 1990 Champagne vintage is going to be remarkable, and the world-wide demand will be unprecedented. The message - buy them now!
