The palate it taut, tightly wound, gradually unfurling into toasted fruit bread, rye bread and roasted nuts, wrapped around an intricate and taut lemon core. It's exceptionally long, spicy, rounded and spherical in shape. Notes of sweet unsalted butter round out the finish, which has such length, elegance and balance. 58% of the wine is from the 2016 vintage, which saw a lot of rain in the spring and close to flowering, with 42% from reserve wines. The blend is made up of 146 separately vinified wines from 11 different years, and the oldest wine in the blend is from the 1998 vintage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e97 Pts Decanter\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe NV Grande Cuvée 172ème Édition is a gracious, sublime Champagne. Light citrus notes, white owers, spice, marzipan and chamomile inections all run through this delicate, nuanced Grande Cuvée. The 172eme is a Champagne of understatement and class that is very much a reection of the base year. Brisk acids pull it all together. The Grande Cuvée is often quite accessible on release, but this is an Edition I would cellar for at least another year or two. It’s a ne eort from Krug. The 172ème Édition is a blend of 44% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay and 20% Meunier based on 2016 with reserve wines back to 1998. Disgorged: Winter 2022-2023.

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.
