    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Dom Perignon have finally released their much anticipated 2008 vintage. We are pleased, though not surprised, to report that it is quite exceptional. We’ve tasted it on two occasions and both times, the latter just days ago, we’ve been completely bowled over by its combination of precision, intensity and sheer transparency. It is both the most dynamic but also the most expressive young Dom Perignon we can remember tasting. It is as good as anything we’ve tasted from 2008, sitting alongside Clos des Goisses and Cristal at the top of the tree of 2008 Champagne releases. We heartily recommend cellaring some for a few years, but also wouldn’t be against opening bottles more immediately. Whatever your decision, this is a Champagne guaranteed to deliver pleasure in spades…

    Easily the best Champagne I had all year, first tasted at a château lunch. I couldn't stop thinking about it, and eventually bought a bottle for my husband's 50th. Just so much power and precision, while still having the delicacy, easy glamour and the most moreish delivery of fresh acidities and fleshy citrus. At it opens, toasted brioche, liqourice root and oyster shall curl out of the glass. Richard Geoffroy cellar master.

    The 2008 Dom Pérignon is a huge, powerful Champagne and also clearly one of the wines of the vintage. This is one of the most reticent bottles I have tasted. So much so that I am thinking about holding off opening any more bottles! The 2008 has always offered a striking interplay of fruit and structure. Today, the richness of the fruit is especially evident. Readers who own the 2008 should be thrilled, but patience is a must. (Originally published in May 2021)
