Dom Perignon

Vintage Magnum (1500ml)

98/100 | Decanter "Departing chef de cave Richard Geoffroy quite rightly calls 2008 'the miracle year'. Perfect ripening allowed the longest ever harvest, with four weeks available to select when, where and what to pick. The result is a magnificently complex and deceptively approachable DP, with wonderful aromatics from the off. On the palate it's very young, with classically sweet and bright citrus and oyster shell notes together with honey and nougat. This is very lithe, supple and long, with fabulous acidity and eclat. Until a couple of years ago the 2008 was quite tight, but recently it has really opened up, according to Geoffroy. This can be enjoyed now but will also age effortlessly for many years yet.
