Six bottles of Dom Pérignon P2 2004 in a special collector case. Enough to follow the wine over the years, or to share across one long evening.
About This Champagne
The 2004 season was steadier than the year before: a warm spring, a wetter summer and healthy, generous yields. This P2 stayed on its lees for about seventeen years and was disgorged in September 2021, with dosage held to 5 g/l. Pinot Noir makes up 62% of the blend and Chardonnay 38%. With six bottles you can open one now and follow how the wine settles over the next decade and more.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Chalk, white peach and lemon with brioche, nuts and white flowers.
- Palate: Silky and taut, with orchard fruit, pastry and racy acidity.
- Finish: Lingering and mineral, with a gentle savoury tone.
Serving & Food
Keep the case lying down somewhere cool and dark. Pour each bottle at 9 to 10°C into wide tulips. Critics' drinking windows run into the 2040s. Lovely with a chilled seafood platter, crab with ginger and spring onion, or roast veal.
How to Enjoy
A cellar supply for a milestone year, or a family gift that can be shared across several occasions.

About the Maison
Moët & Chandon, founded in Épernay in 1743, received the Dom Pérignon name from the Mercier family in 1927 as a wedding gift between the two houses. In 1935 a one-off, unnamed 1926 Champagne in the now-familiar bottle shape was sent to clients of Simon Brothers, Moët's London agent. American buyers asked for it too, and in 1936 the 1921 vintage shipped to New York under the Dom Pérignon name.
A rosé followed with the 1959 vintage. Today Dom Pérignon runs as a distinct brand within LVMH, releasing blanc and rosé from declared vintages only, plus the late-release Plénitudes.
