£339.00
“This is a very thick, dense DP with layers of ripe fruit. Dried apple, pineapple and pie crust with some nougat undertones. Dense and layered with chewy tannins and a juicy finish. Umami undertone. This has the highest percentage of pinot noir ever. 15 years on the lees in bottle. 62% pinot noir and 38% chardonnay.”
After a particularly harsh, dry winter, early April 2003 brought severe frosts that caused significant losses. Going from one extreme to the other, temperatures began rising in late May to reach exceptional highs – a heat wave that brought the Champagne region its hottest summer in fifty-three years and the driest in a decade. With ripening accelerated by the heat and low grape yield, to everyone’s surprise, harvesting began on August 21.
Vintage 2003 Plénitue 2 embodies Dom Pérignon’s commitment to take risks. Bold and creative action made it possible to exist and express the uniqueness of the year 2003.
