Description
Dom Pérignon 2000
The 2000 Dom Pérignon is a Champagne that reflects a warm, early-ripening vintage, producing a wine of generosity, breadth and immediate appeal. Now mature, it has moved beyond primary freshness into a rich, expressive phase, offering both depth and approachability.
On the nose, the wine is open and inviting, showing ripe orchard fruit, baked apple and pear, alongside notes of citrus peel and stone fruit. These are layered with classic autolytic aromas of brioche, toasted bread and almond, complemented by hints of honey, vanilla and light spice as the wine opens in the glass.
The palate is rounded and supple, with a creamy texture that defines the vintage style. Ripe fruit and patisserie notes dominate, supported by soft acidity that keeps the wine balanced rather than sharp. There is a gentle evolution towards toasted nuts, biscuit and a faint smokiness, adding complexity without heaviness.
Structurally, Dom Pérignon 2000 is more about harmony than tension. The acidity is fully integrated, and the wine feels settled and complete, making it particularly enjoyable now. It lacks the steely edge of cooler vintages but compensates with charm, richness and depth.
The finish is smooth and lingering, with notes of baked citrus, brioche and a soft mineral echo. Fully mature and drinking very well today, this is a Dom Pérignon to enjoy now rather than hold indefinitely, offering a generous and satisfying expression of the house style.
