Dom Perignon P2 2003

Dom Perignon Vintage is patiently elevated to a new summit of expression. This is called Plenitude 2!! After close to 15 years in the darkness of the cellar, expansion of energy reaches its peak and the wine rises to an apex of essential, radiant vitality. Elevated to new heights, Dom Pérignon's uniqueness sings out higher and clearer than ever before.

BOLD & CREATIVE - Vintage 2003 Plénitue 2 embodies Dom Pérignon's comittment to take risks. Bold and creative action made it possible to exist and express the uniqueness of the year 2003.

The bouquet reveals itself in a spiral. Out of the floral softness of lime tree emerges the grey, toasted, ashy minerality to 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.

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 before withdrawing into a deep, dark verticality that slowly stretches towards a bitter, sapid iodine sensation.

Dom Pérignon Vintage 2003 – Plénitude 2 navigates between light and obscurity, inviting realms of both red and green: the animal and vegetal sides of nature.
This vintage offers attractive pairing possibilities with the traditional cuisine of Capri or Ischia: duck, lightly grilled young partridge with sorrel, or rabbit with lemon.
The chewy, meaty texture of the wine calls for a simply prepared meat, spit-roasted but not burned. The meat can be accompanied by ingredients with a strong personality, such as powdered orange zest, black mole sauce, lemon balm foam or cilantro jelly, for example. As for cooking, this versatile wine goes well with both cooked and raw foods, and also pairs well with grilled foods.
