And so from P1 methuselah to P2 which for Geoffroy ‘goes beyond Champagne’. P2 he continues must be ‘deeper richer longer…better than P1' - otherwise why release it? Well they haven't yet although it's pencilled in for later in 2019. Here we have drive vinosity and incredible length. The sweet and savoury balance indulges with a seductive embrace. Gustav Klimt in a glass maybe. Outstanding. (Drink between 2019-2040)

Intense rich and dense P2 with butterscotch and toffee character together with apricot compote mango crumble and pie crust. This is at its height right now. Tremendous pleasure and generosity. In a beautiful place. Disgorged 2018. Drink now. Fantastic complexity and subtlety with light bread dough lemon rind spiced pear aniseed and licorice on the nose. Full-bodied. Dense and silky textured. Ultra-fine bubbles. Flavorful and smooth finish. Drink and enjoy this late release.

Somehow, I never managed to cross paths with the initial disgorgement of the 2002 Dom Pérignon, so I was delighted to see the coming P2 version waiting in the wings in our tasting lineup in March at the Abbé d’Hautvillers. It would be fascinating to compare the P2 with the first release of the 2002 Dom Pérignon, in much the same way I tasted the two 1996 versions side by side, as this is a great Champagne vintage that dovetails so beautifully with the house style of this bottling. The 2002 P2 delivers a stunning young nose of pear, apple, stony minerality, iodine, dried flowers a touch of nuttiness, menthol and gentle upper register botanicals so emblematic of this cuvée as it starts to first stretch its wings. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and absolutely rock solid at the core, with lovely mousse, laser-like focus again and stunning backend mineral drive on the very, very long, perfectly balanced finish. The 2002 Dom Pérignon P2 looks to be almost unreachable by the passage of time and could easily last a century. (Drink between 2022-2095)
Vinous: 97+ Points
The 2002 Dom Pérignon P2 is wonderfully open in its aromatics but a bit less giving on the palate especially next to the regular release. Lemon confit white flowers mint and white pepper open up first followed by hints of apricot honey chamomile and light tropical notes. Interestingly the P2 is quite a bit less tropical than the original release. Chef de Caves Vincent Chaperon told me he thinks the original release shows more of a buttery character because of the combination of the ripeness of the vintage and the natural evolution of the wine post-disgorgement under crown seal as opposed to the P2 which stayed much longer on its lees. It is hard to know if that is an exact explanation but the reality is that the two 2002s are quite far apart stylistically. (Drink between 2019-2032)
Wine Spectator: 96 Points
This graceful bright Champagne features a chime of Meyer lemon peel and mouthwatering acidity with finely meshed flavors of baked yellow plum pastry pickled ginger and smoke-laced mineral that intensify as they expand on the lightly mouthcoating and creamy mousse. Seamlessly knit this is hard to stop sipping as it dances across the palate. Drink now through 2025.
