About This Champagne
The second Plénitude of Dom Pérignon 2008, released from 2025 after around sixteen years on lees.
2008 spent much of the summer under grey skies with mildew pressure, then a bright second half of September saved it, and the grapes kept very high acidity.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Orange blossom, jasmine and bergamot, then nashi pear, toasted hazelnut, brioche and a little mocha.
- Palate: Vivid and layered, with dried apple and lime, a silky mousse and an oyster-shell, umami note.
- Finish: Very long and chalky, with lingering citrus.
Serving & Food
Pour at around 10°C into a Burgundy-style white glass and let it warm a little as you drink. Pair with oysters, Alaskan king crab or roast chicken with morels.
Good to Know
When was it disgorged? In 2024, with dosage below 5 g/l.
How long was it on lees? Well over a decade, which adds depth and toast.

About the Maison
Dom Pérignon's late releases rest on patience. A small share of each declared vintage stays in the cellar on its yeast long after the first release has sold through.
