2008 Dom Pérignon, Vintage - Champagne Brut - 1 Bottle (0.75L)

Dom Perignon - hardly any other name is so internationally synonymous with absolute top champagne. It is named after the monk Dom Perignon, who is considered the inventor of the Methode Champenoise. He discovered this method of classic bottle fermentation by chance in the 17th century and is said to have uttered the legendary words “I drink stars”.


- Galloni: The 2008 Dom Pérignon is fabulous, but quite remarkably, it was even more open when I tasted it a year ago. Bright, focused and crystalline in its precision, the 2008 is going to need a number of years before it is at its best. Lemon peel, white flowers, mint and white pepper give the 2008 its chiseled, bright profile. Several recent bottles have all been magnificent. What I admire most about the 2008 is the way it shows all the focus, translucence and energy that is such a signature of the year, and yet it is also remarkably deep and vertical. In other words, the 2008 is a Champagne that plays in three dimensions. 98+/100
