2008 Dom Perignon

Tasting

For Richard Geoffroy, the great Cellar Master who joined the house in 1990, "Dom Pérignon releases the 2008 vintage, freeing it from a too literal reading of the Champagne canons".

Nose
Displaying a brilliant fruitiness and great complexity, the aromatic bouquet opens on the delicacy of floral notes, tangy notes of citrus and stone fruits while notes of anise and mint bring a beautiful freshness. The second nose emphasizes the finesse of spicy and woody notes evoking roasting.

Palate
On the palate, Dom Pérignon Vintage 2008 reveals a perfect coherence between its aromatic expression and its personality on the palate. Precise, pure and tonic, the wine unfolds its warm generosity where the fruit dominates, enhanced by a lively acidity. Full of flavors, the length of the finish stretches infinitely on smoky notes.

An exceptional champagne that will reveal itself in the most daring wine-food pairings by sublimating its personality full of contrasts. A singular vintage reminiscent of the mythical year 1996, a perfect balance between strength, elegance and freshness that make the signature of the great Dom Pérignon. Dom Pérignon Vintage 2008, already an icon.
