The wine aged a minimum of eight years on the lees in Moët \u0026amp; Chandon's cellars before release—what the house terms its first plénitude, the initial point of optimal maturity.

The reductive winemaking philosophy employed by Chef de Cave Vincent Chaperon preserved a freshness and aromatic precision that gives this wine substantial aging potential through what the house projects as a second plénitude, 12 to 15 years after the vintage.

The 1996 vintage is composed of 52% Chardonnay and 48% Pinot Noir, produced entirely via méthode champenoise with a minimum of seven years aging on lees before disgorgement. Since the 1960s, Dom Pérignon has been vinified in a distinctly reductive style — fermented exclusively in stainless steel with no oak contact — deliberately restricting oxygen exposure. This approach enriches the wine with characteristic grey-toned aromas such as coffee, struck match, and toast, while avoiding the brown oxidative notes that shorten a Champagne's lifespan. The result is a wine engineered for extraordinary longevity, and the 1996 vintage's naturally high acidity amplifies that potential even further.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e The nose opens with candied lemon and white peach before giving way to layers of praline, roasted hazelnut, and lemon oil.

Earning 97 points from Vinous, Wine Spectator, and JebDunnuck.com independently, P2 2004 stands as one of the most critically acclaimed releases in the plénitude series.

The 2015 is built on a blend of 51% Pinot Noir and 49% Chardonnay, fermented in stainless steel via the traditional Méthode Champenoise. What defines this wine is nearly a decade of lees aging in the house's chalk cellars beneath the Abbey of Hautvillers, combined with an intensely reductive winemaking approach — each production step kept as oxygen-free as possible — that preserves primary fruit vibrancy while developing the smoky, toasty complexity Dom Pérignon is known for.
