Description

THE 2003 HARVEST
After a particularly cold, dry and severe winter, the spring frosts of 7 to 11 April left a lasting mark in Champagne. Summer was immediately scorching, the hottest for 53 years. Anything that had miraculously escaped the frost and hail was subjected to intense heat until harvest. The crop was perfectly ripe and healthy, like those of 1947, 1959 and 1976.

ON THE NOSE
The bouquet spirals through sweet, bright floral notes and the lively minerality so typical of Dom Pérignon, then notes of candied fruit, plants, the incredible freshness of camphor leaf and finally the dark hints of spices and liquorice root.

ON THE PALATE
The wine is currently still physical. It is compelling, tactile and vibrant rather than aromatic. The rhythm and tempo are more dominant than the melody. At first mild and delicate, then strongly, confidently mineral, persistent, precise, with a refined bitterness, and an iodine, saline tang.

Maturity: Ready, but will keep

Vintage: 2003

Origin: France»Champagne»Brut

Producer: Dom Pérignon

Grape Variety: Champagne Blend

Style: Medium-Full Bodied, Brut, 12.5% alcohol


The wine has a typical Dom Perignon nose: slightly toasty, some liminess and maybe some very cool honey. It immediately exudes class – you know there is something intense to come – and there is also a hint of something Chassagne or Puligny-esque. And in the mouth it gets better – the mousse is very fine and the wine achieves a remarkable balance of intensity and delicacy. The core of fruit has a focussed power, though with silkiness all around – there really is an impression of floating – and this is definitely rather special, with a persistence of fruit that impresses all the way through. And, even at ten in the morning, it was incredibly moreish. This wine may well keep and develop for many years – indeed this may turn out to be one of the truly great DPs - but, even now, it begs to be drunk. Beautiful.
