2017 has known three sequences, three opposite directions which are the foundations of this vintage’s character in tension. In the vineyard the year began in a mild way. At the beginning of spring, in March, quietness was broken by 12 frost days , which led to a reduction of the yield potential. The rest of spring and the beginning of summer were hot and dry, which consolidated a precocious maturation, and was propitious to concentration for the remaining grapes. The rainfalls at the end of August changed the situation.

Botytris and sour rot prospered as the grapes were running a risk of degradation. Similarly to 2005 and 2010, the cropping strategy and the ability to sort out the grapes were essential to save the best fruit. The harvested chardonnays were the ripest since 2000. When uninfected, the pinots noirs showed a very beautiful balance between maturity and freshness.

TASTING NOTES
FOOD PAIRINGS
ORIGIN

NOSE: The nose reveals a captivating duality, balancing bitterness and acidity with sucrosity and tension. It opens onto an oneiric aromatic landscape, led by notes of petrichor, both warm and fresh, followed by the heady perfume of jasmine. Nuances of candied citrus zest add complexity, at once vegetal and fruity, soft yet grainy.

PALATE: On the palate, the wine glides with the fluidity of zero gravity. Broad yet precise, it pulses and unfolds with dynamic, tactile energy, both gushing and caressing. The finish is rhythmic and immersive, leaving a seductive, lingering impression.

When it comes to wine pairing, Dom Pérignon Vintage 2015 expresses its distinctive character particularly well with choice seafood such as caviar, king crab and langoustine. The wine’s aromatic profile also pairs perfectly with meats with tangy notes, such as pork, lamb or duck. Exotic touches of kiwi and guava, along with green curry spices, accentuate the stimulating complexity of this vintage, offering a rich and soothing wine tasting experience.
