Dom Perignon Brut Vintage 2008 + 2 Glasses Set

Description

Dom Perignon is vintage champagne only. Each vintage is a creation, singular and unique, that expresses both the character of the year, and the character of Dom Perignon. After at least eight years of elaboration in the cellars, the wine embodies the perfect balance of Dom Perignon, the Plenitude of harmony. This beautiful limited edition set includes one bottle of Dom Perignon Brut Vintage 2008 and 2 glasses. 2008 was dominated by grey, overcast skies – an exception in a decade characterized by bold, generous sunshine. Just when the harvest was getting underway, the weather conditions were finally perfect: blue skies and prolonged north-northeasterly winds. The grapes were riper than anyone dared hope, and had truly outstanding balance. The vines were in perfect health. To the bracing acidity, concision and aromatic purity expected of the 2008 vintage, Dom Perignon adds depth, density and complexity. The light is warmer and less harsh. The best Dom since 2002. A vintage with very restrained, powerful style that has been released non-sequentially after the 2009. This has a lighter stamp of highly curated, autolytic, toasty aromas than many recent releases. Instead, this delivers super fresh and intense aromas of lemons, grapefruit and blood-orange peel. Incredible freshness here. The palate has a very smoothly delivered, berry-pastry thread with light, sweet spices, stone fruit and fine citrus fruit. This really delivers. Drink now or hold. – Nick Stock, JamesSuckling.com, 98 Points The Finer Details Style – Champagne Varietal – Chardonnay, Pinot Noir Country – France Region – Champagne Vintage – 2008 Bottle Size – 750ml ABV – 12.5%
