DOM PÉRIGNON VINTAGE 2003 - PLÉNITUDE 2
NEW
ABV 12.5%
This exceptionally rare release pushes Dom Pérignon's voluptuous 2003 vintage to new heights. Filled with a fresh energy and a dark intensity, the champagne has reached its second plénitude – the point at which it evolves into a different expression.
This is a physical wine. It calls to you and draws you in. After 15 years on its lees, the P2 boasts an even greater longevity. So, while its dried fruit and dark spice aromas and muscular salinity are exquisite today, it is also ideal for the cellar.

BLEND ORIGIN
With ripening accelerated by the heat and low grape yield, harvesting began on the August 21. It was the earliest Champagne harvest since 1822, producing a ripe and healthy crop. Ultimately, the contrasting weather conditions during the year resulted in remarkably luscious, highly concentrated grapes, recalling the legendary vintages of 1947, 1959 and 1976.
