Dom Pérignon Vintage 2015

SKU: DOMP15

Taste: The wine is broad and horizontal. It spreads across the palate, delicate then generous. Tactile. It caresses and stimulates at the same time, more on the sides of the tongue than the tip. Flesh of fresh peach and nectarine envelop sculpted bitter notes of citrus and gentian.

Smell: Initially somewhat somber, with roasted notes and cacao powder. The nose then gradually opens, like a floral bouquet. Linden leaves, jasmine and finally peony, highlighting the spicy dimension of the wine, with anise and cardamom. A vegetal and fruity freshness massages the overall sensation with chlorophyll, orange peel and green papaya.

Description: After a rather mild winter, the 2015 winemaking year was marked by contrasts. Spring began with an absolutely glacial spell, followed abruptly by an extended heatwave from mid-May to mid-August, accompanied by exceptionally sunny period and drought. This led to hydric stress and varying rates of maturation in different areas. August 2015 was the warmest month of August since 1961. Happily, the last half of August brought an end to the drought with the arrival of rain, restarting the maturation. The harvest began on September 7 under welcome sunshine. The excellent health of the grapes made it possible to conduct an optimal picking cycle over nearly three weeks. Tasting the grapes revealed a wonderful generosity, without excess.
