The Story

DOM PÉRIGNON OENOTHÈQUE  / As the custodian of Dom Pérignon’s history and style, Geoffroy watches over a few samples of each vintage in his OEnothèque, the Chef de Cave’s wine cellar. In the OEnothèque, the wine continues to mature for years and even decades, and is reborn with each metamorphosis of time, for Dom Pérignon is unanimously recognized for its impressive aging potential. As Geoffroy puts it, “Dom Pérignon OEnothèque is the ultimate expression of a wine whose style defies time.”

Geoffroy’s commitment to the OEnothèque program, which began with the 1990 Vintage, involves ongoing personal research on each vintage. The effect of time on the bottled wine retains its share of mystery and surprise even for him.

Dom Pérignon keeps pushing one step further, sometimes rewriting the rules, to pave the path for renewed experiences. So does Œnothèque, glorifying the exclusive process of actively aging a wine on its lees to offer a magnified style through re-releases. Œnothèque prolongs the character of the original Vintage wine, coming ever closer to the ideal of Dom Pérignon. The patience of wine lovers is now rewarded with a deeper, more intimate discovery and perception of Dom Pérignon. The current Vintage is put in proper perspective by giving a glimpse of the aging potential. It would now be virtually impossible for me to imagine Dom Pérignon without its Œnothèque expression.

Wine Information

Oenothèque 1962 by Richard Geoffroy
The 1962 harvest:After an extended winter, the spring of 1962 was hit hard by storms and hail. The early summer was cold, and flowering was late and lingering. Fine weather in September continued well into the harvest, which did not begin until October 4th.
On the Nose:
The Dom Pérignon Œnothèque 1962 reveals itself to the nose in a series of gradual statements. The first notes are woody, smoky, followed by hints of cedar or sandalwood, then leading into marmalade before moving on into suggestions of spicy hawthorn, seeming younger and more flowery.
On the palate:
Beyond its maturity on the palate there remains a certain austerity. The initial richness becomes freshness: the length is confirmed, never less than fruity, straightforward, refined and keen.

Written Notes

A wine that really benefits from handling, according to the “Oenotèque concept.” The shape is round and vintage-typically rich, but the wine is vigorous and orange-sated as usual, with a taste of apricot marmalade. Brilliant!
