Vintage 2015

A wet winter and mild spring gave way to an exceptionally dry summer from mid-May onwards. Hot weather prevailed until mid-August, when the skies opened again. Rains gave way to fine, cool, yet sunny weather for the first two weeks of harvest, which commenced on August 29th. The 2015 vintage has a lot of common denominators with the 2003 vintage but the 2015s are showing a better balance of weight and freshness with their average potential alc...

Written Notes

A brilliant, pale gold color with subtle hints of green, glowing with vitality. The fine and persistent streams of bubbles rise gracefully, creating an elegant, creamy mousse that hints at the champagne's impeccable craftsmanship.


The bouquet is vibrant and layered, showcasing Dom Pérignon's signature complexity. Initial aromas of citrus zest, green apple, and white peach leap from the glass, intertwined with delicate floral notes of honeysuckle and jasmine. As the wine opens, deeper nuances of brioche, toasted almonds, and a whisper of smoky minerality emerge, complemented by hints of fresh ginger and a faint touch of sea breeze.


The palate is an extraordinary interplay of power and precision. A vibrant, zesty attack of lemon curd and grapefruit is balanced by a creamy texture that unfolds with layers of orchard fruits, such as pear and golden apple. The mid-palate reveals a chalky minerality, a hallmark of Dom Pérignon, which adds depth and elegance. Subtle notes of hazelnut, vanilla, and a touch of honeyed richness provide a luxurious dimension.

The wine’s acidity is both lively and harmonious, seamlessly integrated into its structure, giving it remarkable freshness. The finish is endlessly long, leaving lingering impressions of candied citrus, delicate spices, and a fine, saline note that speaks of its terroir.


Dom Pérignon 2015 is a showcase to resilience and innovation, born from a challenging vintage that ultimately delivered exceptional character. Its structure is both vibrant and solid, showcasing an perfect balance of richness and tension. While stunning now in its youthful energy, it is evident that this champagne has the potential to evolve beautifully over the coming decades, gaining even greater complexity and depth with time.


This 2015 vintage marks a bright chapter in the Dom Pérignon legacy. Its forward, fruit-driven personality makes it a joy to drink today, yet its taut acidity and mineral backbone suggest it will continue to flourish for 20 years or more. With time, expect the layers of fruit to deepen, and the toasty, nutty nuances to become more pronounced, creating a champagne that tells an even richer story.


An ideal companion to haute cuisine, Dom Pérignon 2015 pairs beautifully with dishes such as poached lobster with saffron beurre blanc, seared scallops with truffle foam, or a delicate sushi platter featuring fresh tuna and caviar. For those with a sweet tooth, a light lemon tart or an almond financier would harmonize perfectly with its citrus and nutty notes.
