    Dom Pérignon 1995

    Vintage Background
    The 1995 vintage in Champagne was marked by contrasts, beginning with a cool, unsettled spring that delayed flowering but saved by a warm, dry summer that brought the grapes to a healthy ripeness. Harvest began in mid-September, with Chardonnay picked first followed by Pinot Noir a week later. The result was a vintage of generosity and balance, well suited to the house style of Dom Pérignon, which thrives on precision and harmony.

    Appearance & Nose
    Now with almost three decades of age, the 1995 Dom Pérignon has taken on a deep golden hue in the glass, a clear sign of its maturity. The nose is complex and multifaceted, offering aromas of baked apple, dried apricot, orange peel and honeycomb, all layered over the autolytic tones of toasted brioche, macadamia nut, and warm vanilla. With time in the glass, hints of smoke, beeswax, and driftwood emerge, giving an almost Burgundian depth to the bouquet.

    Palate
    On the palate, the wine is rich and creamy, carrying the signature fine mousse of Dom Pérignon. The fruit has softened into flavours of preserved citrus and caramelised pear, lifted by a seam of bright acidity that keeps the wine lively and balanced. Nutty notes of almond praline and hazelnut are joined by savoury undertones of truffle and earth, leading to a persistent, mineral-tinged finish. This is a Champagne that no longer speaks of youthful energy but of refined maturity, where the interplay of fruit, oak, and bottle age creates profound complexity.

    Maturity & Food Pairing
    The 1995 vintage is fully mature and drinking beautifully today, yet bottles with pristine provenance still have the structure to offer pleasure for several more years. It is a wine that shines with food, pairing effortlessly with lobster in butter sauce, roasted game bird with truffle, or simply a wedge of aged Comté. At this stage in its life, it is less about vibrant sparkle and more about contemplative richness and layered nuance.

    Verdict
    Dom Pérignon 1995 stands as a testament to the house’s ability to translate challenging conditions into greatness. It is not the powerhouse that 1996 would become, but rather a Champagne of elegance, breadth, and harmony. For collectors and connoisseurs, it represents one of the finest mature expressions of Dom Pérignon still available on the market, and a memorable bottle for those who appreciate Champagne at the height of its maturity.
