Dom Prignon P2 Vintage 2000 Champagne, 75 cl

The P’ stands for Plenitude and as such marks this out as one of the Vintages that has been left in cellars for further aging and releasing for a second time. These are a set of remarkable Champagnes that become slightly more vinuous and yet retain some of the original characters from the wine’s first release (normally anywhere between 6 and 8 years earlier). Each bottle is hand disgorged and quite rightly is treated with enormous care. This is Richard Geoffroy, the Head Cellar Master, at the top of his already impressive game. 1998 was originally a wonderfully delicate vintage with a true lightness of touch , particularly when compared to its more lauded predecessor, vintage 1996. It has now taken on a more intense character with almonds, orange peel and honeysuckle all beautifully interwoven.

What can you say? Some may be cynical of some of the glamour and glitz that surrounds Dom Perignon. However Richard Geoffroy, Dom Perignon’s Head Wine Maker, is simply superb at his game. Just about every vintage is awaited with bated breath by the wine industry and accolades for both him and his Champagnes are far too numerous to mention
