Dom Perignon Description
The bouquet bursts forth with raspberries and wild strawberries. Persistent powdery notes of iris and violet immediately meld with the fruit aromas. After breathing, greener nuances arrive, evoking privet, angelica and camphor tree. The initial sensations are tactile, full-bodied and silky as they unfold like a caress, gradually becoming bolder. The acidic foundation that is the signature of the vintage weaves into the structure of the pinot noir, vibrating the heart of the wine. The affirmed, persistent finish is redolent of peonies and white pepper.
James Suckling: 99 Points
This is a super Champagne with roses strawberries and orange peel on the nose but then it's medium-boded with a raciness and beauty. Drink or hold. This shows incredible depth of fruit with strawberry cherry and phenolics. Full-bodied and layered with an incredible three-dimensional element to the wine. This is so transparent and dynamic with dark fruit yet it remains vivid and bright. Refined and precise it goes on and on. Really savory fresh and incredibly pinot-noir-like. What a wine. 13 years of maturation in the bottle. So drinkable now but it will age for many years ahead.

Andreas Larsson:
Bright rosé colour with a copper hue and fine stream of small bubbles. Lovely intensity and perfume, very pinot-driven with Vosne-Romanée like aromas of wild raspberry, apricot, peach, ginger and pain d´épices with chalky hints and roasted hazelnut. Ample and mouth filling with a lush texture, seductive red fruit, mellow creaminess and a very bright freshness with well-balanced extract, layered and complex with fine autolytic notes of pastry and fresh butter. Very grippy and long finish and overall a very seductive and imposing champagne with all parts in place.

An impeccably balanced and graceful sparkling rosé with a plushly creamy mousse. It's hard to tell where the firm spine of well-honed acidity and the expressive range of pureed raspberry candied ginger tangerine and lemon thyme flavors begin or end. A rich hint of smoky toasted brioche plays on the finish. Drink now through 2033. Published on November 15 2021

Medium salmon pink delicate pinkish glints silver touch persistent creamy mousse. A crisp biscuity tone underpins red fruit nuances such as sweetheart cherries pineberries white flowers orange zest and a sprig of fresh mint. On the palate vibrant freshness is embraced with dark forest berries but also cranberries mingled with herbs such as thyme and rosemary as well as a slight honey nuanced core. The wine offers an ethereal quality accentuated by soft toasted aromas on the finish resulting in great length and mineral reverberations. An accessible multifaceted food companion with ageing potential.

The 2008 Dom Pérignon Rosé has finally started to fill out. A bit. Rose petal pink grapefruit white pepper slate mint and sage gradually appear in the glass. The 2008 remains rather austere befitting a cold vintage with what has now become a very rare October harvest. Vibrant and yet also clenched the 2008 still needs time. Whether or not it will ever truly blossom remains a question mark. - By Antonio Galloni on April 2025 Chef de Caves Vincent Chaperon once again presented a range of vins clairs to start the tasting each accompanied by detailed maps of the corresponding plots. Last year I toured several vineyard sites with the entire viticultural team. Chef de Caves Richard Geoffroy Chaperon?s predecessor and mentor rarely showed vins clairs. I don?t remember him ever mentioning a vineyard in all the years I tasted with him. Not once. That is not a criticism it?s simply a reflection of how different generations of Chefs de Caves think about their roles. Chaperon has also decided to start bottling Dom Pérignon in years where quality is high but volumes are low because he wants to document each vintage. That is another departure from the past. The 2017 Dom Pérignon the last vintage vinified by Geoffroy will be a tiny release that is projected to last in the market for just a few months. Chaperon has bottled Dom Pérignon in every vintage from 2018 to 2024 except for 2023. More importantly there is a new feeling of energy at Dom Perignon today that is palpable. The 2008 Dom Pérignon Rosé is magnificent. Rich and deep in the glass the 2008 offers up an exotic mélange of aromas and flavors. Sweet red cherry mint orange peel and rose petal all grace this beguiling beauty. Bright acids and a little less still red Pinot (21%) than in most recent editions yields a Rosé that is delicate and light on its feet with less of the vinous intensity that marked vintages such as 2006. There is a classic feeli

Cool ruby hue that isn't deep though perhaps just a bit deeper than a typical oeil de perdrix shade. An exuberantly fresh and bright nose speaks freely of various red fruits along with plenty of citrus quinine and a pretty floral hint while the yeast influence is relatively subdued at least for now. There is fine volume to the solidly concentrated flavors that are supported by a very fine yet quite fine effervescence that imparts both fine delineation as well as a certain power that seems to build from the mid-palate to the explosive finish. This is superb and only getting better each time I am privileged to enjoy it. As to maturity while it's sufficiently far along that it's no vinous crime to open one I would su
