About This Champagne
Dom Pérignon P3 1971 is the third Plénitude of the 1971 vintage, held on its lees for decades and released only once the cellar team judged it had reached a new peak.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Butterscotch, praline and toasted brioche, with orange peel and a flinty edge.
- Palate: Broad, with preserved lemon, honey and roasted nuts over a fine mousse.
- Finish: Savoury and persistent, finishing on toast, salted caramel and a lick of chalk.
Serving & Food
Serve at 12 to 13°C in a large white Burgundy glass, and open it half an hour ahead so it can breathe. Try it with roast chicken with morels or aged Parmesan.
Good to Know
How does it taste? Antonio Galloni found it dense and vinous, the fruit almost covering the mousse.
Who is it for? A 1971 birthday or anniversary, or an evening of mature Champagne.
