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.

A difficult summer marked by drought, intense heat and sunlight. Winter had been very average and spring quite chilly initially. Then an exceptionally long period of drought began, running from the second half of spring through most of summer, bringing extreme temperatures and sunshine. August 2015 was the hottest in 45 years. Harvest began as early as 7 September. Pinot Noir was relatively unscathed but Chardonnay grapes needed 'drastic' sorting. 2015 is regarded as setting the scene for 2022.
Cheesy nose! Lots of savour and yeast-extract notes. Excellent texture and degree of foam but not (yet?) especially long. Not one of the most striking Dom Pérignons at this stage. Without quite the cut and zest of the most successful vintages. (JR)

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.
