Dom Perignon Champagne Vintage 2008 (0,75L 12,5% )
The 2008 Dom Pérignon Vintage Champagne is a special vintage made truly singular by the year's unusual weather conditions and long ageing. 2008 had a cool summer followed by surprisingly sunny weather at the end of September, allowing the grape to fully ripen and reach perfect acid-sugar ratio. This balance and the gentle ageing process resulted in an intense, vibrant Champagne.
Tasting notes:
Nose: The 2008 Dom Pérignon's nose is complex and elegant, with fresh citrus and floral notes. Lime, white cherry, and mild spiciness appear, gradually bending into deeper, toasted-almond and mild roasted aromas.
Flavor: The flavor profile is very refined, enriched with mineral and fruity elements. Alongside citrus, ripe white fruits such as pear and peach can be discovered, with a hint of creaminess from the long ageing. At the end of the sip, the flavors acquire a mild toasted character and rich texture, with a long-lasting, mineral finish.
Acidity and texture: This Champagne has excellent acids, providing freshness and vibrancy. The bubbles are fine and creamy, enhancing the refined, silky texture of the drink.
The specialness of the 2008 Dom Pérignon lies in the fact that it represents a unique year: a long-aged, refined and concentrated Champagne that offers the perfect combination of elegance and intensity.
