✨ Technical Specifications
Dom Pérignon's Plénitude 2 (P2) represents the second life of a vintage, capturing a moment of peak energy, precision, and expansion. While the initial release (P1) of a vintage occurs after approximately nine years on the lees, a portion of the bottles is held back in the chalk cellars of Épernay to mature further. Undergoing at least 15 years of slow, active maturation on its yeast sediment, the wine undergoes a profound transformation. This extended autolysis imbues the Champagne with a majestic complexity, a creamy, tactile mouthfeel, and a paradoxical, piercing freshness. The concept of the Plénitudes is a testament to the house's mastery of time, showcasing how a single vintage can express entirely different facets of its personality over decades.
🍾 About the Producer
Named in honor of the 17th-century Benedictine monk who pioneered foundational sparkling winemaking techniques at the historic Abbey of Hautvillers, Dom Pérignon stands as the archetype of prestige vintage Champagne. Owned by Moët Hennessy, the house strictly produces only vintage wines, releasing cuvées exclusively in harvest years deemed truly exceptional. Crafted from a seamless blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir sourced from Grand Cru vineyards and the historic Premier Cru of Hautvillers, each vintage undergoes a minimum of eight years of lees aging. The signature Dom Pérignon Brut, along with its rare Rosé and extended-aging Plénitude editions, is celebrated worldwide for its immaculate balance of youthful freshness, mineral precision, and deep, autolytic complexity.
