Moët & Chandon Cuvée Dom Pérignon Brut Champagne Blend 1996

$479

I have had a lot of great vintages of Dom Perignon, but I do not remember any as impressive as the 1996. Even richer than the brilliant 1990, the 1996 is still tightly wound, but reveals tremendous aromatic intensity, offering hints of bread dough, Wheat Thins, tropical fruits, and roasted hazelnuts. Medium to full-bodied, with crisp acidity buttressing the wines wealth of fruit and intensity, it comes across as extraordinarly zesty, well-delineated, and incredibly long on the palate. Moet-Chandon deserves considerable accolades for this prodigious example of Dom Perignon. Anticipated maturity: now-2020+ Robert Parker

Unbelievable champagne! Insane depth, subtlety, just fantastic. It opened up beautifully when it warmed up a bit

Un champagne dans un registre différent du Selosse bu précédemment. Celui-ci parait plus agé, moins éclatant mais plus complexe. On y retrouve des fruits comme la lime, la pomme mais aussi des noix et un côté minéral.
