Tasting Notes by Richard Geoffroy, Dom Pérignon Chef de Cave.

On the nose:

Fresh, crystalline, and sharp, the first nose unveils an unusual dimension, an aquatic vegetal world with secret touches of white pepper and gardenia. The wine reveals a light, gentle maturity before exhaling peaty scents.

On the palate:

The attack bursts forth, before maturing into a sensual fullness that winds around itself, like a tendril of foliage. Notes of liquorice and dried ginger linger on the skin of fruit (pear and mango), more textured than ripe.

The finish gradually unfurls and then settles, smooth, mellow, all-encompassing.

An indefinable je ne sais quoi, never upsetting the integrity of the wine, has worked its charm.
