Was very priviledged to get a seat at the Dom Perignon “Experience Magnificence” Tasting.

DOM PERIGNON WEEK 2008

EXPERIENCE MAGNIFICENCE

Dom Perignon Plenitude Experience

We are inviting you to experience the romance,

passion and luxury of the champagne that knows no compromise.

Accompanied by Dom Perignon’s Greg Williams, explore the three extraordinary expressions of Dom Perignon.

Dom Perignon Blanc, Dom Perignon Rose and Dom Perignon Œnothèque.

Enjoy these exceptional wines with expertly crafted delicacies which allow Dom Perignon

to express its seamless and sensual qualities.

This unique experience is available for 8 guests only

We did a series of three vintages:

Vintage 2000 – matched with Salmon Sashimi
Rosé Vintage 1998 – matched with acorn fed prosciutto
Œnothèque 1993 – matched with oysters in ginger and ponzu

The Œnothèque was beautifully complex, it is a volumptuous wine with a lingering creamy fullness. What makes it so special? Normal champagne vintages are only released after 7 years of aging. Though on top of that, a small portion of each vintage is kept on the lees even longer to continue the evolution and magnify its natural qualities. When a vintage is released for the second time, it merits the Œnothèque label. It indicates that a Dom Perignon vintage has reached either its second peak in maturity, with optimized intensity (15 to 20 years after harvest), or its third peak, with optimized complexity (after 30 years on the lees).

I’m officially Champagne’d out.
