Dom Pérignon, an iconic wine with an unparalleled heritage, is uniquely available only as a vintage champagne produced in exceptional years, Often regarded as one of the founding fathers of Champagne, the Benedictine Monk Dom Pierre Pérignon dedicated forty-seven years, from 1668 to 1715, at the historic Abbey of Hautvillers to his quest of crafting the "best wine in the world." Each vintage of Dom Pérignon is a singular creation, capturing both the essence of its production year and the distinctive character of this exemplary wine itself.

Dom Perignon Vintage 2008
12.5% abv
“The finest release of this iconic cuvée since the 1996 vintage, the 2008 Dom Pérignon wafts from the glass with an incipiently complex bouquet of Meyer lemon, green apple, dried white flowers and oyster shell, with only subtle hints of the smoky, autolytic aromas that have been such a prominent signature of recent releases. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, deep and complete, its notable flesh and amplitude controlled by incisive acids, with a youthfully exuberant but elegant mousse and a long, beautifully delineated finish. Considering the sheer size of this cuvée, it’s a remarkable achievement and a fitting release with which to conclude Richard Geoffroy’s tenure as chef de cave. Given the 2008’s intensity and balance, I suspect purists will be anticipating later disgorgements with lower dosage and more time on the lees with particular enthusiasm. Tasted three times, with consistent results.”

“The 2008 Dom Pérignon is a huge, powerful Champagne and also clearly one of the wines of the vintage. This is one of the most reticent bottles I have tasted. So much so that I am thinking about holding off opening any more bottles! The 2008 has always offered a striking interplay of fruit and structure. Today, the richness of the fruit is especially evident. Readers who own the 2008 should be thrilled, but patience is a must.”
