Limited stock. Dom Perignon is unique in that a proportion of every vintage is retained & aged within the cellars. This allows each new generation of winemakers to taste older vintages, to understand the history of wine, to ensure greater consistency of style & to observe how each vintage develops & matures with age. The cellar area dedicated to the storage of these older vintage wines is called OEnotheque (or, as the French say en 'o' teque) which means ' Wine Library'. Dom Perignon peaks at three distinct times during its life cycle, although the timing of the peaks may ary from vintage to vintage. The first peak ('phase de plenitude' in French) at about seven years, is the stage when the wine is at its most vibrant & the majority of the vintage is released into the market. The second peak usually occurs between fourteen & twenty years & is the stage when the wine takes on greater depth & vigour. The third, from 25 years onwards, is when the wine reaches full maturity & takes on an extra dimension of complexity. Dom Perignon occasionally releases small quantities of the OEnotheque wines when they reach a peak in their quality. Kept undisturbed in their original bottles in the Hautvillier's cellars, these wines offer a rare opportunity to experience mature Champagne aged in perfect conditions. ...

Limited Edition! The story of Dom Perignon is a story of constant reinvention & each Vintage is a new beginning. Always a vintage champagne made from grapes grown in the same year. The wine truly expresses itself when the Chef de Cave brings it to the surface, when it leaves the darkness of the cellars to express living power. Dom Perignon Vintage 2004 Rose has been re-discovered & brought into the light & is now delivering this expression full of life & singularity. The 2015 Creator's Editions have been formed in partnership with Bjork & Chris Cunningham, whom have crafted the distinctive limited edition as a way to reinforce the indissoluble link between earth & emotion. Together, the Creators envisioned a shining beacon of exuberant earthly green light for the Blanc, & pink for the Rose, that shines down on the bottle from above, visually piercing the glass with its glow. The shards of light that escape from it echo the feeling during the vintage's tasting, bearing witness to the unequivocal sensation that crosses the mind as Dom Perignon's champagne penetrates the heart, & warms it in its unique & indefinable light. ...

On the nose: The bouquet is mesmerizing, ripe, & complex. The opening notes are a blend of dark spices & cocoa which develop very quickly into fruit aromas. Fruit reigns supreme, with roasted fig & apricot & candied orange. The overall effect exudes smoky accents. On the palate: The fullness of the wine is immediately striking. Its intensity & succulence set the tone through the sweetness & crisp punch of the flavours. The silky mouthfeel melts into a smooth, tight, & grainy structure with just a hint of vegetable flavours. The wine expresses an appealing brininess & saline character. ...

Alain took over the running of the Michaud family domaine in 1973 & has steadily bought up small parcels of vines, increasing vineyard ownership in Brouilly & Morgon from 5 ha. to 12.5 ha. today. Some of the vines that provide fruit for his Brouilly date back to 1920 (50% are over 50 years old), producing wines with remarkable richness. Each parcel is picked & fermented separately, maturing for several months in old oak. Only then are the best parcels blended before bottlings twice a year: Easter & at the end of the summer. Michaud's Morgon is sourced from equally old vines. ...
