Dom Pérignon exists only in vintage form. Only the best grapes from a single year are chosen. Each vintage is singular and reinterprets the unique character of the seasons. Dom Pérignon dares not to declare a vintage if the result is not exceptional. After more than eight years in the cellar, the wine reflects the perfect balance of Dom Pérignon, its most beautiful promise.
It is Dom Pérignon Vintage, the fullness of harmony.
Bottle sold without box.
The nose is complex and bright with white flowers, citrus and stone fruit. The freshness of star anise and crushed mint energize the whole. On the breath, spicy, woody and toasty notes finally emerge.
Long introverted, the wine has finally revealed itself. The coherence between nose and palate is perfectly homogeneous. Conical, slender, delicate, tonic, athletic, giving a sensation of warmth. The sound of fruit is strong and clear. The acidity that marked the vintage is remarkably well integrated here. Persistence is essentially aromatic, gray, smoky, pervasive.
The Montagne de Reims
A gray sky hung over the 2008 wine year, so unique in a decade of sunshine and impetuous generosity. When the harvest began, conditions were finally perfect: plenty of sunshine and strong north/north-easterly winds. Ripeness exceeded all expectations, rising with unprecedented balance. Hygiene conditions were beyond reproach.
To the acidity, simplicity and aromatic purity so eagerly awaited from the 2008, Dom Pérignon has added thickness, depth and complexity. The light is softer and warmer.
In 1668, the young Benedictine monk Dom Pierre Pérignon was appointed head of Hautvillers Abbey in the Champagne region.
He succeeded in transforming the wine into champagne, which has since embodied the original and mysterious characteristics of champagne wine creation.
Dom Pérignon has an unwavering commitment: each vintage reflects the uniqueness of that year.
With each vintage, Dom Pérignon pursues its profound aesthetic ideal: to create and reveal the harmony of a constantly evolving nature.
Chef Marco Fadiga prepared shrimp crackers to accompany the cuvée Dom Pérignon Vintage 2008, a romantic champagne, elegant, long and above all easy to drink.
It's a lively champagne that's already very pleasant as an aperitif, and excellent with a starter or a meat, shellfish or fish dish.
