There's a well-spiced zesty edge to the flavors of glazed apple mandarin orange peel pink grapefruit pith and crème de cassis as they ride the finely detailed mousse of this fresh focused Champagne. This vivid display is enriched by notes of canelé pastry chopped almond pastry cream smoke and vanilla all coming to the forefront through the midpalate and chiming on the lasting finish. Drink now through 2035.?A.N.

The 2015 Dom Pérignon is terrific. Bright and poised the 2015 shows terrific energy. Citrus peel white flowers mint white pepper and slate all race across the palate. There's gorgeous tension and backbone here with bright saline notes that extend the mid-palate and finish. This is a fine showing in a vintage that has proven to be tricky. I am intrigued to see how the 2015 develops in the coming years. - By Antonio Galloni on March 2024

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. Published: May 30 2024

2015 is unusually giving and luscious at this early stage full of apricot pastry bittersweet orange citrus and bitter almond brightened by some pithy herbal characters that signal the year?s singular growing season yet also leaning deliciously into toasted bread honey-nut and a little umami savour from lees ageing. It plays a deep fruit-saturated and slightly grippy angle on Dom Pérignon?s often svelte style less reductive than usual and much more immediate than the previous release (2013). This is a vintage perfectly placed for relatively youthful drinking although Dom Pérignon?s record will mean this is likely to have a rewarding decade ahead. (Drink between 2024 - 2038)

A difficult summer marked by drought intense heat and sunlight. Winter had been very average and spring quite chilly initially. Then an exceptionally long period of drought began running from the second half of spring through most of summer bringing extreme temperatures and sunshine. August 2015 was the hottest in 45 years. Harvest began as early as 7 September. Pinot Noir was relatively unscathed but Chardonnay grapes needed 'drastic' sorting. 2015 is regarded as setting the scene for 2022. Cheesy nose! Lots of savour and yeast-extract notes. Excellent texture and degree of foam but not (yet?) especially long. Not one of the most striking Dom Pérignons at this stage. Without quite the cut and zest of the most successful vintages. (Drink between 2025 - 2035).
