Dom Pérignon 2008 (12 BT)

Dom Pérignon 2008

50% Pinot Noir, 50% Chardonnay. Dosage 5 g/l, less ageing 9 years. This was the longest harvest for DP, an amazing 4 weeks, and they used a higher quantity of warmer villages in the blend, such as Aÿ and Hautvillers. In 2022, a deep, appley nose, crisp and emphatic, spring-like and vibrant. Real, flavourful weight on the palate, plus profundity and volume. Rolls round the mouth, with brioche, marzipan and vanilla all vying for attention. The complexity and depth are remarkable - one of the greatest. I even poured it into a ballon glass for its fullest expression. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
