A Champagne of great structure and elegance, with a creamy, enveloping mousse balanced by a precise and vibrant acidity. On the palate, it unfolds notes of crème de cassis, toasted macadamia nut, ripe fig, mandarin peel, custard, and candied ginger. The bouquet harmoniously combines fruit, spices, and delicate pastry nuances, accompanied by a subtle saline minerality. The finish is extraordinarily long, complex, and persistent.
Dom Pérignon P2 Plénitude 2008 is an exceptional Champagne made with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes in the prestigious Champagne AOC, France. Its history is linked to Dom Pierre Pérignon, a Benedictine monk who in 1668 took over the management of the Abbey of Hautvillers and dedicated his work to perfecting viticultural and winemaking techniques. His pursuit of excellence helped forge a winemaking tradition that achieved great prestige, even reaching the court of Louis XIV at Versailles.
The secret of Dom Pérignon P2 lies in its extraordinary evolution on its lees. Only those vintages that, according to the cellar master, possess the necessary potential for exceptionally long aging can reach this second maturity. P2 remains on its lees for at least 15 years, and can even exceed 20, a lengthy process that imparts depth, energy, and complexity. The 2008 vintage has a dosage of 4,5 g/l.
The 2008 harvest was marked by unusual weather conditions, with a gray spring and summer, little sunshine, and moderate temperatures. The decisive change came in September: coinciding with the start of the harvest on September 15th, clear skies and persistent northeasterly winds appeared, allowing for a late ripening under excellent conditions.
Dom Pérignon P2 Plénitude 2008 is an excellent choice for those who want to buy wine online and discover the secret of a long-aged, complex and exceptional champagne.
