Dom Pérignon Brut Champagne 2009

Without doubt the most famous champagne in the world! Dom Pérignon 2009 is a balanced, rich, almost vegetal wine with hints of tropical fruits, ginger and aniseed. This extraordinary Dom Pérignon vintage is distinguished and sophisticated. Resplendent in its luminous golden robe it offers a supremely refined effervescence. The nose is a symphony of floral aromas, with candied fruits, dried fruits, then darker, spicier notes developing after airing. The palate is compellingly persistent, vibrant, precise with an underlying refined bitterness and touch of tangy salinity.

2003 was characterized by a very hard winter during which the vines greatly suffered, followed by a scorchingly hot summer. In September the harvest took place in sunny conditions; yields were low, but concentration was exceptional. This is a very, very grand champagne and difficult to find. The 2003 Dom Pérignon continues to improve in bottle. A top vintage.
