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.
