Like a stallion out of the gate, this shows an initial explosion of power, in the form of mouthwatering flavors and fine texture, before quickly settling into an elegant gait. The racy acidity is seamlessly knit, buoying the lacy mousse and flavors of cassis, toasted brioche and tangerine, with accents of candied ginger, hazelnut and fleur de sel lingering on the long, creamy finish.

The 2008 Cristal is a perfect wine, and Champagne simple does not get any better. This incredible wine offers a beautiful perfume of clean, crisp fruits, layers of complexity in its toasted spice and white flowers, and an utterly seamless, yet powerful style on the palate.


This is a rich, decadent expression of Cristal yet it’s still crystalline and elegant, with no sensation of weight, and it just glides over the palate. Haut Couture at its finest and this majestic, profound, legendary Cristal can be drunk anytime over the coming 2-3 decades.

Warm, gourmand and exotic, this champagne charms the nose with its bright aromas. Touches of candied fruits, frangipane and sweet spices follow refined notes of saffron. Gradually, the aromatic bouquet becomes more mysterious, more restrained, evolving iodised and saline notes.


It is, however, on the palate that Dom Pérignon 2002 Vintage Plénitude 2 expresses itself to the fullest, revealing a remarkable opulence, as well as an airy grace reminiscent of the light movements of a ballerina. With great sensuality and depth, the palate offers bright fruit, further enhanced by an intense energy.

From the legendary harvest of 1996, this vintage Cristal is filled with floral, perfumed fruit and vibrant minerality. Its intense, honeyed flavours penetrate the palate and are backed with piercing acidity.

A solid champagne with great structure for ageing.
