3) 1992 Dom Pérignon
A vintage that is impossible to perform tricks with, yet Richard Geoffroy has succeeded in capturing one’s attention with this easily imbibed, balanced, and superbly enjoyable Dom Pérignon. The fruit is delicious and the taste is unmistakable. The lack of vitality and depth is the only thing that reveals the vintage.
4) 2005 Dom Pérignon Rosé
Not many has the opportunity to taste a vintage Dom Perignon....
Yet A Dom Perignon Rosé
When Dom Pérignon champagne is made rosé, it is in the name of daring: the daring to break free from the conventions of champagne making, to constantly push back the limits of creation. Born from this desire to dare, Dom Pérignon Rosé captures the red of Pinot Noir in its original radiance and captures its complexity in a reckless and assumed blend. Developed over nearly twelve years of slow and controlled transformation in the cellar, Dom Pérignon Rosé is intense and spontaneous, clear and dark, magnetic.
99 pts James Suckling
Outer quote mark A mind-blowing wine. This is super subtle and intense with aromas of peaches, light strawberry and cream. Also shows rose petal and cooked peaches. Medium to full body, with ultra-fine tannins that feel like fine silk. The finish goes on for minutes. It floats across the palate. The winemaker says the closet vintage to this is the 1990, but I think this is better.

Seductive. Really rather glorious – like a Volnay in its perfume and delicacy.

5) 2008 Dom Pérignon Vs Saint Reol Champagne
The finest release of this iconic cuvée since the 1996 vintage, 2008 Dom Perignon’s intensity and balance, it’s a remarkable achievement and a fitting release with which to conclude Richard Geoffroy’s tenure as chef de cave. The 2008 Dom Pérignon is a huge, powerful Champagne and also clearly a legendary champagne.
In the last blind tasting, 2012 Saint Reol Grand Cru beat 2008 Dom Perignon in a blind tasting. Will Saint Reol, a winner and top champagne in Decanter Wine Awards 2022, win your hearts again? Give this tasting a try and it might just surprise.
