Dom Perignon Brut Vintage Champagne (Gift Boxed)
Tasting Notes...
Dom Perignon Vintage Champagne is the flagship wine from the House of Moet et Chandon.
A vintage, Cellar Master, Vincent Chaperon is convinced has been misguidedly overlooked. 54% Chardonnay, 46% Pinot Noir. Dosage 5g/l.
Amazingly, obviously, Dom P on the nose – the powerful lemon-mousse nose came soaring out of the glass long before my nose got anywhere near it. Massive intensity of complex aroma hints that this might be a little blowsy on the palate but not a bit of it. It's really tense and tight on the palate and has a certain fumey smokiness to the very concentrated palate. But its most marked feature is the persistence of the finish. This, along with the concentration, makes us confident we will be seeing this in a Plentitude 2 version in later years. Jancis Robinson scored 18.5/20
