96pts James Suckling / 95pts Wine Advocate, Dom Pérignon 2015: A Warm, Generous Vintage of Rare Depth and Immediacy

My Wine Man on Dom Pérignon

Dom Pérignon is the prestige cuvée that defined a category. Produced only in declared vintages, years that Moët & Chandon's Chef de Cave deems exceptional enough to carry the name. The 2015 vintage was shaped by a warm, dry growing season that delivered fruit of extraordinary ripeness, depth, and generosity. Where the 2013 vintage was defined by cool-season tension and mineral precision, the 2015 is its counterpart: lush, expressive, and immediately compelling. Chef de Cave Vincent Chaperon has crafted a 2015 that is both a celebration of the vintage's warmth and a testament to Dom Pérignon's uncompromising standards.

Tasting Notes

Luminous pale gold with fine, persistent bubbles. Initially revealing roasted and cocoa notes, the nose gradually opens to a floral bouquet of lime blossom, jasmine, and peony, before unveiling a sublime spicy dimension. A vegetal and fruity freshness then emerges, chlorophyll, orange peel, and green papaya. The wine unfolds first delicately, then generously. Fresh peach and nectarine flesh envelop notes of citrus and gentian, building through a creamy, fine-bubbled texture to a finish of remarkable length and warmth. 96pts James Suckling / 95pts Wine Advocate.

Style & Drinking Window

Medium-full bodied with a creamy mousse, fine persistent bubbles, and the generous warmth of the 2015 vintage. Drinking beautifully now, with continued development through the 2030s and beyond. Serve at 10-12°C.

Food Pairing

The stone fruit generosity and jasmine-spice complexity of the 2015 Dom Pérignon make it a sublime match for Canadian Wild Sockeye Salmon Fillet (Sashimi Grade) from My Meat Man. The wine's warm complexity complements the vibrant, clean flavour and silky texture of wild sockeye beautifully, whether served as sashimi with yuzu and pickled ginger, lightly seared with citrus and dill, or roasted with white wine and fresh tarragon.
