    A truly explosive wine, from the minute you smell it, with its beautiful and giving creamy aromas, supported by hints of citrus and ripe white fruit carrying through into the palate. It is like watching a young Christiano Ronaldo on the football field, its exuberance and class jump out at you... a very exciting wine: just a stunning glass of Champagne. Fine in its mousse, very giving in its fruit characters, with hints of white peach and apricot, coated with a subtle nutty texture. It may not necessarily have the age worthiness of the 2002 but as a prestige cuvée, ready for immediate drinking, this is most definitely the one to go for. A simply delicious wine.

    The 2005 Dom Pérignon is incredibly delicate, understated and silky, with gorgeous textural balance and class. Today, the 2005 comes across as a smaller-scaled version of the 2004 in that it is a Dom Pérignon built on finesse rather than the power that characterizes vintages such as 2002 and 2003. Today, the 2005 is a bit inward and not fully expressive, which is a good sign for the future. Still, given its mid-weight structure and previous showings, my impression is that the 2005 is best suited to near and medium-term drinking. Then again, Dom Pérignon has a brilliant track record for aging. Any way you look at it, though, there is little question Chef de Caves Richard Geoffroy made one of the two or three Champagne of the vintage in 2005. As I have written previously, 2005 will be a very small release by Dom Pérignon standards. So much so, that the 2006 is likely to be released by the end of 2015. Once again, I was super-impressed with the 2005 Dom Pérignon, which showed beautifully in a mini-vertical of the last four releases. Drink 2015-2025

    I believe that the 2005 DP is the best since 2002, which remains the best recent vintage and is probably only eclipsed by the amazing 100-point 1996. The 2005 is a full-bodied DP with so much richness and loads of ripe fruit such as pineapple and papaya. It has a wonderful, creamy texture and a long and intense finish. It’s a Champagne that fully satisfies but at the same time challenges you with its strength, depth and persistence on the palate.

Producer

Dom Perignon

Dom Pérignon is arguably the most celebrated and iconic champagne house in the world. At this famous address, Chef de Cave Vincent Chaperon has unrivalled access to pick and choose the very best Grands Crus plots of fruit each year. The champagnes are considered some of the finest examples of the region and are hugely popular with collectors and drinkers alike.

Region

Champagne

Champagne, the world's greatest sparkling wine, needs little introduction - with imitations produced in virtually every country capable of growing grapes, including such unlikely candidates as India and China. The Champagne region, to the north of Paris, has the most northerly vineyards in France, with vines grown on slopes with a southerly exposure to maximise sunlight. The soil is chalky, providing an excellent balance of drainage and water retention. The key to the wine is in the cellar - the bubbles result from a second fermentation in the bottle and the rich toasty flavours in great Champagne come from extended bottle ageing on the yeasty lees. Until the eighteenth century, the wines produced in the Champagne area were light acidic white wines, with no hint of sparkle. However glass and closure technology developed at that time and it was not long before Dom Perignon, a Benedictine monk at the Abbey of Hautvilliers, started experimenting with blends and produced the first recognisable champagne. In a world accustomed to still wines, the advent of champagne was almost a flop. It was saved when it became fashionable at the French court as a result of Louis XV's mistress Madame de Pompadour commenting "Champagne is the only wine that lets a woman remain beautiful after she has drunk it." And the rest is history, with famous (or infamous) champagne lovers including Casanova, Dumas, Wagner, Winston Churchill, James Bond and Coco Chanel.
