Dom Pérignon 1996 Champagne
Dom Perignon Vintage Champagne
Another classic vintage from a champagne legend! Pale yellow with golden highlights, Dom Pérignon Vintage 1996 radiates brilliance, lighting up the senses.
Subtle and spicy aromas are exhaled in succession presenting white peaches, candied lemon, vanilla, praline and white pepper.
Its delicately balanced flavour reveals a wonderful paradox, a rivalry between movement and concentration. The structure is affirmed and taut. The energy, contained for a few fleeting instants, suddenly explodes, leaving a decisive impression of extraordinary richness.
1996 shows all the signs of being one of the greatest vintages of the last century and this champagne’s carefully poised finesse can only improve, year on year, from its slow graceful aging. Fabulous to drink now but with a few extra years of cellarage the Dom Perignon 1996 promises to be sensational!
Champagne Grape Blend:Chardonnay & Pinot Noir in roughly equal proportions
Vintage Year:"1996 was a year of contrasts, with an unpredictable damp early summer. But the unusually hot month preceding the harvest led to a vintage of exceptional maturity, with a notable balance of power and acidity." - Dom Pérignon
