Dom Perignon Brut 2008 Jeroboam

€2,500.00

The opening bouquet is complex and luminous, a mingling of white flowers, citrus, and stone fruit. The overall effect is enhanced by the freshness of aniseed and crushed mint. The final aromas offered by the wine are starting to show spicy, woody, and roasted notes.
After a long period of reluctance, the wine is finally opening up. There is a complete balance between the nose and the palate. Its slender, minimalist, pure, toned, athletic character is now also expressed with warmth. The fruit is pronounced and clear. The vintage’s characteristic acidity is remarkably well integrated. Its persistence is mainly aromatic, grey, smoky, and highly promising.

Description

Robert Parker  95+/100

Dom Perignon 2008 Vintage Champagne is finally here, aged for at least eight years to create the perfect harmony of flavours and released unusually, after the 2009 vintage. A mixture of 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir grapes, this Champagne is light and warm on the nose, with aromas of white flowers and peaches. On the palate, there are strong, clear peach flavours and a gentle smokiness that offsets the vintage’s characteristic acidity.

Dom Pérignon was the first prestige cuvée, an idea proposed by Englishman Laurence Venn. The first vintage of Dom Pérignon was in 1921 and was only released for sale in 1936. Dom Pérignon is a vintage champagne, meaning that it is only made in the best years, and all grapes used to make the wine were harvested in the same year. Many champagnes, by contrast, are non-vintage, which means that the champagne is made from grapes harvested in various years.
