Occasional wine note

This is not just a Dom Pérignon, but a vintage Dom Pérignon, which is only produced in the best years. We've still never had one haven't liked, and while this one may not meet the bar set in 2008, it isn't far off. This is the amazing wine that delivers on high expectations. Save for a special occasion.

What experts say about this wine

James Suckling

A driven and serious DP with aromas of chalk, biscuits, apricot stones and lemons. Some spice and dried flowers, too. So sleek and sophisticated. Elegant. Yet, it’s long and powerful, with a sharp minerality. Tight and precise. Reminds me of bottles from the 1980s, such as 1988. It really takes off. Disgorged October 2021. Drinkable on release in January 2023, but better in a couple of years. A DP for the cellar.

Wine Spectator

Vivid acidity and a chalky underpinning make a crystalline frame for finely detailed notes of ripe melon, mandarin orange, toasted brioche and candied ginger in this harmonious Champagne, which is expressive and expansive on the palate, but with a sense of finesse and restraint. Long and creamy on the mineral-laced finish.
