Introducing Dom Pérignon Vintage 2004 – Plénitude 2
With Dom Pérignon Vintage 2004 Plénitude 2, Dom Pérignon reconnects with the
year 2004. Following the syncopated rhythms of 2003 – marked by dramatic frosts
and a historic heat wave, constraining grape production by the vines – 2004
appeared evident, a year of renaissance and calm.
The year unfolded in a virtually ideal scenario. Each season segued to the next with
ease and fluidity, devoid of disturbances or excess. A rather cool August was
followed by a few weeks of dry heat that made the vintage. Drawing on a reserve of
energy left by 2003, the vines thrived, expressing themselves to the full with a
generous harvest of mature grapes.
The time for maturation in our cellars is part of an ongoing creative process.
Following the first release in 2013, it took 18 years for this maturation to elevate the
harmony of the wine in the bottles of Vintage 2004 that remained in the cellars. The
long, slow maturation firmed up the wine’s body while drawing it out, rounding it and
polishing its essence. With this amplified energy, the wine traces the contours of a
sphere that lets harmony spring forth on the palate.
Through this quest to express the structure of the wine and its precise, harmonious
movement in the elaboration of Vintage 2004, Dom Pérignon fuses body and spirit.
The 2004 creation reveals this tension and lets joy spring forth with a soaring
sentiment of lightness.
Dom Pérignon Vintage 2004 – Plénitude 2: Tasting Notes
On the nose, the 2004 fruit remains discreet, yet more clearly defined in this second
life of the Vintage. Citrusy notes of pink grapefruit and blood oranges gently cede to
figs. The additional time on the lees elevates the minerality of the vintage with the
sublime maturity that is Dom Pérignon’s signature. Lingering aromas are a harmony
of cocoa, mocha, roasted nuts, brioche, and honey.
On the palate, the wine balances on the edge with immediacy and surprise, evolving
between tension and weightlessness. It has an extreme, tactile precision, deep and
sculptural. The sensations come together in a persistent and elegant finish,
underlined by sappy, licorice notes.
