Dom Perignon

Pnp. Nice straw color. Nose has green apple, pear, lemon, and some stone. Palate was vibrant, mouthfeel excellent, and features more of the apple/pear notes from the nose along with really nice brioche and yeast. Acidity is great. Lingering finish with some nice minerality. Excellent champagne.

2013 vintage

Less sherbet bomb than before, and mellowing with a deeper and quite satisfying midpalate. Bubble also a tiny bit coarser than expected per last note. More brioche on the nose with a backyard of beautiful flower.

2013 vintage

Very enjoyable bottle showing aromatic citrus and stone fruits over a toasty, brioche-laced nose. The palate is precise, with fine acidity and good drive but no austerity. Already nicely open and absolutely ready to drink young.

2013 vintage

Drak på Texture. Dejlig champagne til prisen. Stadig frisk, men for mig ikke meget frugt tilbage🥂❤️

2013 vintage

As before, green and yellow pear, yeast, lemon and lime juice and pith, limestone, and white and green melon notes dominate. Finishes flinty and yeasty, with the compelling green notes repeating (not underripe type of green, but racy lime-type flavors). Drinks better with more air, but begs for some sleep time. Personally, I love the energy here in its current state, but it’s a typical Dom yeast beast for sure right now.

2013 vintage

Burgundy, Barbaresco & Barolo in Bath (La Terra, Bath) : Wow. This is terrific and much more pleasurable than a recent 2008. Lemon zest and lime Jelly Tot on first sniff. A touch of macadamia and a certain creaminess too. This is offset by some pineapple stalk sweetness / greenness. Palate is just fabulous, acids and fruit in perfect harmony. Some more citrus character on entry with some pear skin and sour apricot building through the mid palate. Lime sours …

2013 vintage

We're in a war??? (The house of Simmons) : Blind. Fruit on the entry, brioche and bread-y on the finish. I actually wrote down, "Dom?" Because young Dom tends to give me be overly baked bread characteristic. Please hold…like 10 more years minimum. Thank me later! After reveal, my blind score makes sense. Consistent score, but will MUCH better with age. For comparison, I rated 96 vintage, 97 pts and 2008 vintage, 97 pts.

2013 vintage

An immediate, outward-looking nose, redolent of brioche, subtle reduction, lemon zest and white flowers. The palate displays excellent mid-weight density, crisp acidity and a focused, saline finish. There is clarity and architectural control here, the reductive edge lending energy rather than severity. A textbook expression of the house style, combining restraint with quiet authority.

2013 vintage

Fine, elegant and delicious. Not as powerful as some other vintages but this is very nice. Lime, citrus, saline minerality.

2013 vintage

Third time having a glass of this wine over the past several years. Best experience so far. I have felt the bottles I've tried didn't breathe enough. They have been tight from the get go. This time it was good to go out of the gate. But did improve over the 2 hours in my glass. I kept going back for sips. The body became more substantial and the wine opened up even more throughout the dinner. Fleshy, precise, balanced …

2013 vintage

Drak den på Aure. Synes det er godt til den pris. Duft bedst. Kroppen kunne selvfølgelig være mere intens. Med alder bliver det bedre til mig❤️🥂

2013 vintage

14th tasting. Pronounced nose intensity with toast, yeast, bread, brioche, lemon, pear, apple. High acidity.

2013 vintage

Opened at Beaver Brook. Clean, crisp, citrus and nutty notes.

2013 vintage

Fresh smokey citrus, taste is elegant, good freshness, nice yeasty, good aftertaste, nice complexity, can still age very well.

2013 vintage

Fantastic. Drank side by side with Krug 172, this was the winner (acknowledging the different styles) - and this is coming from someone who will pick Krug 10/10 times if given a choice. A bit unfair given the Krug needs time. So balanced between rich/toasty and elegant. Super long finish. A stunner. Definitely not a pop and pour - opens up beautifully

2013 vintage

Much readier than the 2012 at this stage, more complex than the 2015 so this is drinking quite well. Hay color, fine perlage, nose of brioche, green apples, some chalk and zest. Hedonistic attack on the palate, dynamic mid palate, finishes toasty with decent length.

2013 vintage

Dense sourdough, apple cider, a bit vinegar, citrus bitterness, high acidity and intensity.

2013 vintage

Very good. A little tight

2010 vintage

A favorite vintage. The 2013 is a lean austere return to vintages of old. The last of the traditional vintages?

2013 vintage

Dinner with John Grisanti (Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck) : Cream, peach, fine mousse, yellow fruits, high acid.

2013 vintage

blind thought between 10 and 13. Fresh, oyster and untoasted toast. 93

2013 vintage

Way too young now but enjoyable. Green apple, brioche, hints of pepper and butter. Fruit gets intense and adds more compleixty with time. But regret to open this and drink too quick as it shows great potential in it.

2010 vintage

Apricot, toasted brioche and almond. Medium to full bodied with great fruit. The mouse is more refined on this vintage.

2010 vintage

New Years Day: Vrai Champagne, Ninth Annual Edition (Brad & Marcia's Place, St. Paul, MN) : Light plus gold color. Small pour. Brief note. The oft maligned and perhaps even misunderstood '03 Dom has achieved redemption from those that panned it back on release. I always thought this was good, but it just kept getting better and better over the years. I wish I had stocked up more at this point, as mine are gone. We had the splendid '04 …

2003 vintage

Finally, an excellent 2000 Dom. Allowed to breathe in glass 30 minutes and warm to 55F. Clear golden hue with lazy streams of ultra fine bubbles. Ethereal notes of quince paste, Meyer lemon, chamomile, butterscotch, vanilla custard, marzipan, brioche, ginger, chalk, even some hints of banana and papaya. Refined, subtle, complex, wonderful. Lesson learned, Dom needs at least 20 years.

2000 vintage

Solid all around. Definitely interesting as it evolved over an hour.

2013 vintage

The wine looks yellow gold colored. It smells like hazelnut, biscuity, light toast, apple and melon. The body is medium. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity. Slightly disappointed vs previous tasting and other vintages

2013 vintage

A pale lemon color introduces this classically styled Dom Pérignon. The nose is pronounced, offering brioche, lemon, apple, apricot, green mango, and the distinct smokiness that has become a recognizable calling card of the house. On the palate, the wine is dry, medium‑bodied, with high acidity, a creamy mousse, and a long, elegant finish. The flavors are pronounced, showing a perfumed dried‑flower character, supported by citrus and lemon zest. This vintage strikes a beautiful balance between bold and elegant, showcasing …

2013 vintage

Underwhelming - Tasting it could not confirm what the beautiful nose promised

2013 vintage

Awesome again. Best bottle of young Dom out there, 2013 is a winner. Prickly green pear, yeast, lemon and lime juice and pith, flint, limestone, travertine, white and green melon, Drink or hold.

2013 vintage

Very lively, still quite a lot of bubbles. Very rich and delicious, burnt caramel, burnt brioche, but in a nice way. Some acidity to complement the notes

2003 vintage

Christmas Eve dinner, served with osetra. Sipped with a Cape Cod chip, creme fraiche, caviar and shallots, it was sublime.

2010 vintage

Popped and Poured alongside a couple of other tete cuvees (Gosset Celebris 2002, Taittinger 2000 & 2012). This was vegetal and not my cup of tea. I bought this a couple of years ago from a local wine merchant, so potentially is a handling issue, but this bottle had zero brightness or fruit, but more celery and jalapeno. Maybe a sign of the vintage

2003 vintage

Excellent!

2010 vintage

Not as good as my 2013 I found that more pleasant and silkier.

2010 vintage

This is excellent, but not exactly to my taste. I might have preferred to open it after a few more years. Vibrant, wonderful acidity, great fizz, nice balance of citrus and brioche / yeast. A very full wine. I learned today this wine was first released in the year of my wedding (2011) so that‚Äôs special. Also a very hot vintage. Apparently a frost killed 70% of the Chardonnay that year and then a heat wave and drought hit over …

2003 vintage

Great champagne without being anything extraordinary/super memorable

2010 vintage

Apple, toast, butter, saline, tangerine. No signature briochee and the fruit is soft. Med- acidity, Med- body. This was a weak vintage but wine was a weak effort

2010 vintage

Good stuff, still going strong, a little more mellow than I’d expect. Went well with Thanksgiving dinner.

2010 vintage

24th tasting notes. Pronounced nose intensity with bread dough, wet stone, mineral, biscuit, citrus. High acidity. Outstanding wine. Already drinking well now

2010 vintage

23th tasting notes. Pronounced nose intensity with bread dough, wet stone, mineral, biscuit, citrus. High acidity. Outstanding wine. Already drinking well now

2010 vintage

(from memory) Comes across as quite fresh despite the age. Airy, with a core of lemon rind and citrus. Many more years of aging potential ahead.

2010 vintage

Birthday lunch at my favourite steak house, drinking beautifully at age 15, poised & graceful, will age well, after 2.5 hrs sweet finish

2010 vintage

October Wimps Lunch (La Trompette, Chiswick) : A magnum of this. Bright yellow colour, looks young still. Classic nose with brioche, toast, and bright citrus fruit. Initially tight fruit, solid fizz, still young but a mature digestive biscuit back note. Surprisingly good acidity for the year. Stays well and the nose got more toasty as it opened up. Very nice now but time in hand from this format.

2003 vintage

This was still lovely but seems mostly ready to go; rich but still with energy. Will easily hold, but quite tasty now.

2010 vintage

Annual Pilgrimage to Piedmont - 2025 Edition; 10/17/2025-10/19/2025 : 4 very consistent and beautiful bottles to start our Lunch at the most beautiful Ciau del Tornavento. A wine we have had more than a few times over the last decade ( last encounter in 2020 - Papies 93) and we remember not being impressed to begin and slowly loving it. And now 13 years later from the 90 we gave it is the wine that was promised by Richard Geoffroy. …

2003 vintage

No expert but was a wonderful bottle, crisp and bright with a very clean finish light fruit and light sweetness better then I was expecting

2010 vintage

Lovely wine: on release and still the case. 95 for enjoyment; 94 to leave room for truly exceptional wines of 95 to 100....

2010 vintage

15 year anniversary dinner. Had the 2010 side by side with the Dom 03 for the salad course (see notes for the 03). The 2010 was pale yellow in color and was so much crisper than the 03 with a lot of citrus, melon and green apple. There was a expressive minerality to it which complimented the high acidity of the wine. Can't wait to try this again in 5 years for our 20 year anniversary.

2010 vintage

Did a side by side of the 2003 and 2010. The 03 was so much more complex and was the favorite amongst the group. The color was golden honey which was also on the taste along with ripe fruit. It paired so well with the lemon honey vinaigrette on the salad. This wine still has years ahead of it but if I had another bottle I wouldn't wait long because its in an amazing spot right now.
