Mild, seductively sweet, embacing nose with a harmonious melange of freshly ground coffee, dark fruit, struck match, vanilla and exotic spices. Truly inviting and generous already, without shyness. The selection has been strict as there is at least to date no whiffs of botrytis troubling most champagnes of the vintage. Fully ripe fruit profile laudably in absence of any overripe characters. Characteristically DP on the nose. But its most remarkable character is textural. The palate is incredibly smooth and creamy, like fluffy cotton wool. Round and mellow with yeasty fullness and an energizing mineral bite at the fresh finish. A beautiful, unusually Chardonnay-dominant Dom Pérignon to enjoy today and in the mid-term. But act soon as this vintage was a tiny one with stocks counted to last only until late 2015.
