  • Robert Parker, February 1997, Score: 96

    The profoundly rich 1990 Dom Perignon is a creamy-textured, full styled offering that loses none of its elegance in spite of its flavor authority. It will improve for 5-10 years, and appears capable of surpassing the fabulous 1985 and 1982.

  • Jancis Robinson, March 1996, Score: 19

    Definitely more orange than the 1996 - pale rose red with a hint of tomato. Extremely powerful, spicy nose -almost a hint of curry spice. Mushroom spectrum of mature Pinot flavours which stood up beautifully to Heston Blumenthal´s surprisingly subtle, though creamily meaty, dish snail porridge. Big, beefy, meaty, and then some florality. Wonderful development on the nose. Considerable selection of healthy grapes was needed to make this apparently.

  • Wine Spectator, Dec 98, Score: 90

    Fans of bold wine will love this Champagne. It's made in a full-bodied, assertive style that blends overt toasty, earthy aromas with bracing, dry fruit flavors and a robust but smooth texture. Drink now through 2003.

  • Clive Coates, Score: 18

    Marvellous depth and concentration and class on the nose. A keeper. Firm, masculine, quite concentrated. Lots of fruit. Nicely ripe. Still quite closed-in. This is not quite great, but it is very fine. Drink 2010 18 points

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.
