Dom Perignon P2 2000

The Winery

Dom Pérignon

"If Dom Pérignon is the Porsche 911 Carrera of the wine world, then DP Rosé is the 911 Turbo"
-Jay McInerney, The Wall Street Journal

Dom Perignon, a Benedictine monk, was an innovative cellar master and winemaker in the seventeenth-century, whose unique techniques advanced the production and quality of Champagne. His obsession with consistency, precision and discipline helped him master the stages of production.

Perignon and his colleagues laid out essential foundations for the ‘champenoise’ method of critical varietals to create a second fermentation in the bottle that adds the distinct 'bubbliness' to Champagne. Now a brand of Champagne house Moët & Chandon, Dom Perignon continues to make vintage-only wines priding themselves by releasing Champagne in only optimal years.

Summary

Dom Pérignon P2 2000 is a distinguished sparkling wine crafted from a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, aged approximately 15 to 20 years on lees. This late-disgorged vintage exhibits a medium golden yellow hue with fine bubbles. The nose reveals complex aromas of baked peach, brioche, and a hint of citrus along with mineral nuances. On the palate, the wine is rich and textural, showcasing flavors of yellow tropical fruits, caramel, and hazelnuts, complemented by a refreshing acid core. The finish is marked by a creamy and saline quality, highlighting its depth and elegance. This vintage exemplifies the balance of finesse and strength typical of the Dom Pérignon legacy.


Tasting Notes

JS97
A Champagne that has turned to a very fine texture with dried pineapple and lemon character. Medium to full body, complex and flavorful palate. Shows length and beauty. Pie crust, cooked apple and lemon rind continue on the finish. A truly great 2000 with a combination of finesse and strength. It’s very, very minerally to a point of sea salt. It was disgorged in first half of 2016.
WS97
A beautiful nose of baked peach, lime blossom and graphite draws you into the glass of this stunning 2000, whose flavors of brioche, salted almond and spun honey are wrapped around sleek, mouthwatering acidity and a streak of smoke-tinged mineral. This deftly meshed Champagne is hard to stop sipping. Drink now through 2030.
