2010 Dom Perignon Vintage Brut 1,5l - Magnum in Geschenkpackung

Decanter.com – 93 pts – SF: *Soft gold, with a gentle green luminescence and a paler rim. A fine bead and immediately reassuring nose…. classic DP this, citric fruit, slate, sourdough, soft spice and the softly whispered intimations of tropical decadence. Pedigree writ large. The palate continues the theme, albeit with great subtlety. Vincent describes sapidity, itself buttressing the fruit which now recalls nectarines and pineapple, maybe a hint of crystallised grapefruit. The finish unfurls neatly, a gentle phenolic kick of salinity underwriting structure and potential alike.* - 07/2020

Falstaff Magazin – 95 pts - PM: *Helles Grüngelb, Silberreflexe, feines Mousseux. Nuancen von Orangenblüten, feine gelbe Tropenfrucht, zarter Touch von Maracuja, ein Hauch von Jasmin, kühles Bukett. Am Gaumen stoffig, elegant, nach Grapefruit, zeigt gute Komplexität, muskulös, gute Extraktsüße, etwas Mango, weißer Pfeffer und grüner Apfel im Abgang, gute Länge, bereits gut entwickelt und antrinkbar.* - 11/2020

Vinum Magazin – 17,5/20 pts: *Zurückhaltender Reifefirn von Gebäck, Obst, Kräutern und Blüten; cremiger Auftakt, vollmundige und doch elegante Entwicklung, langer, frischer Ausklang auf Noten reifer Birne; besitzt Klasse, wirkt noch sehr jugendlich, verdient die Karaffe.*

JancisRobinson.com – 18,5/20pts – JR: *A vintage Vincent Chaperon is convinced has been misguidedly overlooked. 54% Chardonnay, 46% Pinot Noir. Dosage 5g/l. This bottle was disgorged February 2019. Amazingly, obviously, Dom P on the nose – the powerful lemon-mousse nose came soaring out of the glass long before my nose got anywhere near it. Massive intensity of complex aroma hints that this might be a little blowsy on the palate but not a bit of it. It's really tense and tight and has a certain fumy smokiness to the very concentrated palate. But its most marked feature is the persistence of the finish. This, along with the concentration, makes me confident we will be seeing this in a P2 version, even though 15% of the potential Pinot Noir was left on the ground. Definitely not a weak vintage of Dom P.* - 06/2020
