Dom Perignon
Vintage 1996
Robert Parker
The brilliant 1996 Dom Perignon, which has largely disappeared from the marketplace, may be the finest young example of DP I have ever tasted. Notes of crushed rocks, honeysuckle, lemon oil, orange marmalade, and white pear provide a stunning aromatic display as well as palate impression. Great acidity and huge flavor intensity backed up by vibrant acidity make this an exquisite Champagne. It should drink well for 20-25 years, possibly longer. Readers should remember that the 1971 Dom Perignon Rose is still drinking exquisitely. I recently had the 1969 and 1970 Dom Perignons (from magnum), and both were drinking brilliantly. It makes one realize just how long-lived these wines can be. Production is confidential, but there must be hundreds of thousands of cases of Dom Perignon since it is available in most of the world's luxury hotels and restaurants.
Dom Pérignon makes legendary champagne, which is known worldwide. This is for good reason, because quality is not compromised here, and therefore new bottles are only produced in years when the grapes are absolutely ideal and when the harvest has had the best conditions. Dom Pérignon offers exclusively vintage champagne, i.e. that the champagne is produced from the harvest from a single year. The champagne house Moët & Chandon owns Dom Pérignon, which is the house's top cuvée. The first production of Dom Pérignon took place in 1921, and was released in 1936
