TASTING NOTES:
A PURE, TONED CLASSIC WITH IMPOSING WARMTH
A luminous gold.
Wonderfully complex, with scents of white flowers, citrus and stone fruit enhanced by the freshness of aniseed and crushed mint. Finally, spicy, woody and roasted notes emerge.
Perfectly balanced with the nose, the palate is streamlined and pure, with an underlying warmth. Clear, pronounced fruit and a well-integrated acidity, lead to an aromatic and smoky finish.
Cellar Master, Dom Pérignon

BLEND AND ORIGIN:
DOM PÉRIGNON VINTAGE 2008
The summer of 2008 was characterised by grey days and a yearning for sun in Champagne.
But just as harvest began in September, blue skies finally arrived, to bring the vintage to its best.
To capitalise on such perfect conditions, picking was spread out for as long as possible.
The result was Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes of outstanding balance – riper than anyone dared hope.
FOOD PAIRING:
PLAY WITH CONTRAST... AND TRY IT WITH THAI
Begin with fresh oysters, and a garnish of Thai basil, or make a Thai-spiced salad that will amplify and accentuate this wine’s effervescence.
Experiment with the duality of mineral notes and fresh fruit, in a dish which pairs langoustine with papaya or octopus carpaccio with a citrussy dressing.
