Plénitude 2 is considered the 'second life' of Dom Pérignon, patiently brought to new heights after close to 15 years of slow transformation in the cellars, with every aspect of the wine taking on a new dimension – wider, deeper, longer, more intense...
On the nose, a floral softness of lime tree emerges with the grey, toasted, ashy minerality so typical of Dom Pérignon. A taste of dried fruit – apricot – appears, then the candied fruitiness of raspberry and fig. Unexpectedly, the freshness of lemon verbena, white pepper and rosemary rises for an instant, before plunging into the darkness of spices and liquorice root.
On the palate this is a physical wine. It calls to you and draws you in, more tactile and vibrant than aromatic. Like a wave, it is built on rhythm and breaks: first it unfolds, then envelops – generous and structured – before withdrawing into a deep, dark verticality that slowly stretches towards a bitter, sapid iodine sensation.
One for a very special occasion... Then again, life's short...!
