2015 Dom Perignon Brut Champagne 750 ml

Dom Pérignon is “quite possibly the most iconic wine in Champagne, and perhaps the world,” wrote Antonio Galloni. It’s the bubbly of Marilyn Monroe, it was poured at Princess Diana’s wedding, and it embodies luxury. 

Dom achieved its glamorous status by being one of the greatest, most ageworthy wines in Champagne. It remains among Champagne’s most rigorously made wines, selected from the finest grapes and vineyards and emerging only after the best growing seasons. And in 2015—one of the best Champagne vintages of the 21st century—the team at Dom Pérignon made a legendary wine. 

Despite commanding one of France’s most famous and lavishly funded exports, legendary Chef de Cave Richard Geoffroy is known for thinking like a small, independent grower, with an avowed habit of taking risks and pushing the envelope. Comparing vintages of Dom Pérignon to “the experimental, searching spirit that defines so many of the smaller-production, artisan Champagnes being made today,” Antonio Galloni pronounced Geoffroy’s efforts to be “nothing short of magnificent.”

In this 2015, a luminous pale gold color and vibrant mousse decorate the glass. The aromas are dominated by freshly zested Sicilian lemon, candied ginger, green apple, and almond. The palate is complete, with great acidity and fruit, gifted with a long-lasting finish. Bright, focused, and structured, it’s truly a wine like no other.

This wine is from one of Richard Geoffroy’s final vintages at the helm—he retired from Dom in 2018—and it expresses one of Champagne’s greatest vintages of the decade. It’s delicious now, but has the bones to age brilliantly in your cellar.
