Champagne Dom Pérignon
P2 Vintage 2004

The Dom Pérignon Vintage 2004 Plénitude 2 is intense, vibrant and precise. The exceptional feature of Vintages Dom Pérignon is their evolution, not based on a linear process, but on specific expressive steps. These periods are called Plénitudes, priviledged moments where the wines vibrates more intensely.

P2 is the name of Deuxième Plénitude by Dom Pérignon, the result of 16 years of development. The energy reaches its peak. Thanks to its dark notes, mineral, spicy and iodized, the uniqueness of Dom Pérignon is clearer and more intense than ever.

Part of the bottles of Dom Pérignon Vintage 2004 rests on its yeasts in the cave, with cork cap (bouchon liège), for 13 years, 8 years longer than the classical Vintage Dom Pérignon.

The 2004 vintage will mark the history of Champagne Dom Pérignon for its richness and generosity. While the weather was predicted to be mild, allowing the vines to develop regularly and without anomalies, it was the dry heat of latest summer weeks that determined the character of the vintage. Harvesting began on 24 September, and ripeness and health conditions were excellent.

The Champagne Dom Pérignon Vintage 2004 Plénitude 2 reveals delicate aromas of pink grapefruit and blood orange on the nose, leaving room for fig on the finish. The ageing of the wine on the lees sublimates the minerality of the vintage into a glorious maturity, emblematic of Dom Pérignon: cocoa, mocha, toasted notes, brioche and honey. On the palate, a game of balances, the wine evolves between tension and lightness. An extreme precision, tactile, mysterious and chiselled. An elegant character that persists on a powerful, liquorice note.
