I forhold til foregående Krug, så virker Dom Pérignon 2015 mere frisk i duften og der kommer også en noget kraftigere brus, som lige rammer godt op i næsen. Der er også pænt fadpræg, som endda er mere blidt og samtidig virket let parfumeret, bl.a. er der også noget lakridskonfekt, vanilje, cashewnødder og klart en mineralsk islæt af kalkede noter med jern og fennikel, mens frugten mest er lidt bløde pærer, gule blommer, abrikos og svag ananas. Smagen er så let, fin og feminin … smukt balanceret og igen i denne årgang 2015 viser Dom Pérignon sin kontrollerede styrke. Det er så blødt, brusset er blødt og alligevel på en slank. ren og smuk måde og samtidig ganske saftigt. Boblerne er blide og de fader også hurtigt ud og fremhæver i stedet bare frugten med pærer, gule æbler, let lemon bitterhed. lidt Lemon Schweppes og nogle grillede citroner. Det er præcision som schweiziske urværk … 97 point. Forhandles bl.a. af Supervin, hvor en flaske koster 1.895 kr., mens prisen er 1.795 kr. ved køb af 6 flasker

A super-complex Champagne with chewy tension. Aromas of coffee beans, lemon peel, burnt sugar, chalky minerality, barley candy and tarte tatin. Fine pinprick bubbles with flavors of lemon leaves, aspirin and Mirabelle plums, plus a touch of grapefruit bitterness keeping the tension. Zesty yet integrated chewy acidity and a medium body with a toasted finish.

The 2015 Dom Pérignon is terrific. Bright and poised, the 2015 shows terrific energy. Citrus peel, white flowers, mint, white pepper and slate all race across the palate. There's gorgeous tension and backbone here, with bright saline notes that extend the mid-palate and finish. This is a fine showing in a vintage that has proven to be tricky. I am intrigued to see how the 2015 develops in the coming years.

Wine Spectator

There's a well-spiced, zesty edge to the flavors of glazed apple, mandarin orange peel, pink grapefruit pith and crème de cassis as they ride the finely detailed mousse of this fresh, focused Champagne. This vivid display is enriched by notes of canelé pastry, chopped almond, pastry cream, smoke and vanilla, all coming to the forefront through the midpalate and chiming on the lasting finish.

The 2015 Dom Perignon is a marvelous wine from this outstanding vintage in Champagne. A vibrant yellow in the glass, this offers freshly cut wildflowers and walnut notes on the nose alongside yellow plum and shades of Japanese pear. The palate is refined and elegant as the silky mousse grips you. Wonderfully nutty and earthy already, with a gorgeous melange of citrus and melon fruits, this is drinking remarkably well in its youth. Enjoy now and over the next fifteen to twenty years. A proprietary blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

Revista Adega, Melhor Vinho

“Brut white sparkling wine (4.5 g/l of residual sugar) crafted from Pinot Noir (51%) and Chardonnay (49%) grapes, predominantly sourced from grand cru vineyards and the premier cru vineyard of Hautvilliers. Aged on its lees for at least 7 years before disgorgement in January 2023. This wine offers complex layers of aromas and flavors, revealing white and stone fruits alongside floral, herbal, sweet spice, yeast, dried fruit, and toasted notes. Supported by vibrant acidity and a creamy yet firm texture, it shows great tension and fluidity. With impressive volume on the palate, it is lively and refined, finishing with precision and persistence, leaving saline, citrus, peach, pear, and pastry notes on the aftertaste.”

Falstaff

Medium yellow-green with silver highlights and a delicate mousse. Fine aromas of honeydew melon and brioche, subtle chalky minerality, and a hint of linden blossom honey, creating a harmonious and expressive bouquet. Good complexity on the palate, juicy, with a well-integrated and balanced acidity. Clove and guava emerge on the finish, with notes of Golden Delicious apple on the aftertaste. Shows confident aging potential.

Disgorged in January 2023, the 2015 Dom Pérignon shows a singular, ethereal profile with aromas of white pepper, iodine, ripe orchard fruits, toast, smoke, herbs and spices. Medium to full-bodied, layered, and structured, it’s enveloping and round with a delicate phenolic mid-palate that underlines chalky dry extracts, concluding with a sapid, penetrating finish with gastronomic bitterness. This iteration of Dom Pérignon, though replete with the customary charm and vinous generosity that typify the label, distinguishes itself by its structural delicate austerity and a notably phenolic profile, giving rise to a remarkably linear and well-defined style that diverges markedly from the more familiar expressions of Dom Pérignon. This is a blend of 51% Pinot Noir and 49% Chardonnay with a dosage of 4.5 grams per liter; it will age wonderfully and can be enjoyed now or over the next 20 years.
