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.

Achieving ripeness was the secret to the warm and dry 2015 season and Richard Geoffroy and Vincent Chaperon and their team have achieved a splendid result here, a dramatic credit to their selection through meticulous tasting at the harvest. In the modern era of Dom Pérignon, it’s the cooler and more classic seasons that I love most, but my first encounter with 2015 comes as a refreshing surprise. This represents a dramatic turning point in Dom Pérignon and its expression and balance in an age of warm, sunny, dry vintages, and makes a profound statement of confidence for the future. There’s a compelling shift in focus here, away from the coffee bean character, dry phenolic grip and reductive tension of preceding warm vintages like 2009, 2005 and 2003, instead presenting a much more juicy, fruity and ultimately delicious demeanour. The crunch of apple and pear contrast the tension of grapefruit and the flesh of white peach, even the exoticism of golden kiwi and loquat. On the eve of its release at nine years of age, lees maturity has built generous layers of creamy texture and complexity of crème pâtissière, roast hazelnuts and fruit mince spice. Boasting a bright straw hue, it presents a coherence unprecedented in young, warm season Dom Pérignons, delivering a silky palate texture that seamlessly unites fine phenolic grip with saline chalk minerality and perfectly harmonised dosage. It projects the best of the character of this challenging vintage, while resolutely upholding the distinguished personality that is Dom Pérignon. This make for a Dom to drink right away and over the short- to medium-term, while 2012 and 2013 relax in the cellar.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"H2ReviewNotes\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e96 Pts \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eTyson Stelzer,The Champagne Guide\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 2015 Dom Perignon pours a bright straw\/yellow color and is expressive and layered on the nose with a tropical profile in its notes of cantaloupe, peach, fresh pastry, smokey wet stones, and orange blossoms. Medium to full-bodied, it offers a rounded and ripe but very well-detailed feel, with a soft, chalky texture. This was a very successful vintage for Dom Perignon, producing wines that retain a great deal of clarity and detail in this warm vintage. Drink over the coming 20 years.
