WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Initially revealing roasted and cocoa notes, the nose of Dom Pérignon Vintage 2015 gradually opens up to a floral bouquet of linden, jasmine and peony, revealing a sublime spicy dimension. A vegetal and fruity freshness then manifests itself, with aromas of chlorophyll, orange peel and green papaya.
In the mouth, the champagne unfolds first delicately, then generously. The flesh of fresh peach and nectarine envelops notes of citrus and gentian, before extending on a remarkable length.
TASTING NOTES:
A super-complex Champagne with chewy tension. Aromas of coffee beans, lemon peel, burnt sugar, chalky minerality, barley candy and tarte tatin. Fine pinprick bubbles with flavors of lemon leaves, aspirin and Mirabelle plums, plus a touch of grapefruit bitterness keeping the tension. Zesty yet integrated chewy acidity and a medium body with a toasted finish. Drink of hold.

There's a well-spiced, zesty edge to the flavors of glazed apple, mandarin orange peel, pink grapefruit pith and crème de cassis as they ride the finely detailed mousse of this fresh, focused Champagne. This vivid display is enriched by notes of canelé pastry, chopped almond, pastry cream, smoke and vanilla, all coming to the forefront through the midpalate and chiming on the lasting finish. Drink now through 2035.
