97 Robert Parker
The 1985 Dom Pérignon P3 is showing brilliantly from magnum, offering up a deep and complex nose of waxy lemon rind, oyster shell, mandarin, iodine and smoky autolysis. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, with a fine but ebullient mousse, exceptional concentration and intensity, brisk acids and a long, expansive finish. This disgorgement is beautifully timed, capturing the wine in a phase of controlled opulence, and it is drinking beautifully today.
Producer
Dom Pérignon
Dom Pérignon is quite possibly the most iconic Champagne in the world. Tracing its roots back to the 17th century, when the monk, Dom Pierre Pérignon declared his ambition to create “the best wine in the world”. Today, he is known as the father of Champagne. He spent almost 50 years making the world’s first Champagne in the Abbey of Saint Pierre d’Hautvillers. During this time he set the ten founding vinification principles required in Champagne production. Three centuries later, Dom Pérignon stands as the planet’s most recognized luxury Champagne brands. The first vintage of Dom Pérignon was produced in 1921 and became the first prestige cuvée for the house. Owned by the fine-wines and spirits group, LVMH, Richard Geoffroy has been the Chef de Cave for the brand since 1990. Geoffroy alone is responsible for deciding whether or not to declare a Dom Pérignon Vintage. Made from the very best grapes, each vintage of Dom Pérignon is unique, showing notable transparencies between the varying climatic conditions. The alliance between ripeness, vibrancy, lightness and intensity in each bottle gives the wine the ability to age with suppleness and elegance.
