Dom Perignon Vintage 2008 Plénitude 2

Dom Pérignon Vintage 2008 Plénitude 2 comes from a growing season known as the "Late Champenois Miracle," when difficult spring and summer conditions gave way to ideal September weather and grapes of exceptional ripeness and balance. Extended time on the way to its second plénitude has given the cuvée added substance, length and complexity.

The palate unfolds with enveloping elegance: candied lemon, bergamot, white peach, cocoa and roasted coffee across a silky, vibrant frame with a solar, slightly iodized presence. The acid structure weaves together with subtle bitter and umami hints for depth and refinement.

As noted by the house, Plénitude 2 shows well with seafood such as langoustine and scallops, and with veal and Jerusalem artichoke; rosemary, basil and bright citrus accents open up its breadth. The 2008 was declared in 2018, the year of the handover between Chefs de Cave Richard Geoffroy and Vincent Chaperon. Contains sulphites, as all champagnes do. Store in a cool, dark place for aging potential. 750 ml, 12.5% ABV.
