Tasting notes
The 2000 Dom Pérignon is a gorgeous wine to drink now, as it is already showing quite a bit of aromatic and flavor complexity. Although the 2000 doesn’t have the multi-dimensional personality or structure of the very best DPs, it does offer tremendous drinking pleasure today. Hints of pastry, baked apple and mint add nuance, with a touch of reduction that lends an added kick of freshness. Ultimately, the 2000 is a very drinkable and delicious Dom Pérignon.

The original cuvée disgorged in 2007. Richard Geoffroy took over from Dominique Foulon in 2000 and was told, you won’t have same vintage on both Grand Vintage and Dom P but this turned out not to be the case. Fresh and quite open and developed. Dry finish. Lightly oxidatively dried sensation but on the finish very rewarding. (JR)
This regular release had a maximum of six years’ yeast maturation. Lovely savoury nose with some putty. Tight knit. Very lively and lemony. Lots of cheeky citrus on the rather chewy end, still showing some phenolics. (JR)
These four vintages of Dom Pérignon provide a fascinating snapshot of how the house has performed in recent years. The 2000 Dom Pérignon is a gorgeous, seductive wine that floats on the palate with remarkable grace. Toasty aromas meld into freshly cut flowers, apricots and pears, with sweet notes of mint and licorice that linger on the long finish. This perfumed, inviting Dom Pérignon is elegance personified, and in this vintage the wine fully merits its lofty reputation. According to winemaker Vincent Chaperone there is only one disgorgement date for the first release of Dom Pérignon, and the 2000 was disgorged over a period of weeks in March and April, 2007.
