1998 Dom Perignon Cuvee Champagne

Notes sourced from Moet & Chandon.

Made only in vintage years, Dom Perignon is produced exclusively from the noble grape varieties Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from the best crus in Champagne. The wine benefits from a long ageing in the cellars and then expresses the unique style of Dom Perignon, precise, complex, ethereal, silky and sensual.

Reviews...
A stronger vintage than expected, the 1998 Dom Perignon exhibits aromas and flavors of lemon oil, orange rind, and brioche in a medium-bodied, zesty, rich, moderately intense style. It is far superior to either the 1993 or 1992. Readers should remember that the 1971 Dom Perignon Rose is still drinking exquisitely. I recently had the 1969 and 1970 Dom Perignons (from magnum), and both were drinking brilliantly. It makes one realize just how long-lived these wines can be. Production is confidential, but there must be hundreds of thousands of cases of Dom Perignon since it available in most of the world’s luxury hotels and restaurants.
