About This Champagne
Dom Pérignon 2017 is a small, unusual vintage, rich in Chardonnay and made in far lower volume than normal.
A hot, dry summer ended in heavy rain, and picking began on 28 August.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Petrichor and jasmine, with gunflint, citrus and ripe yellow fruit behind.
- Palate: Silky and generous, with soft fruit, a savoury, umami depth and fresh acidity pulling against it.
- Finish: Mineral and saline, with citrus and toast.
Serving & Food
Open it a little ahead of time and pour at about 9°C into white wine glasses rather than flutes. Try it with king crab or caviar on blini.
Good to Know
Why is it so rare? Rot forced strict selection, making it the smallest Dom Pérignon blend ever.
What's the blend? 61% Chardonnay, among the highest shares in its history.
