Dom Pérignon 1996

Dom Pérignon Vintage 1996 belongs to those vintages that have become benchmarks in Champagne. The year brought together exceptional maturity and a naturally very high acidity—a rare combination that produced wines with almost electric tension and considerable aging potential.

After several decades, the wine has moved beyond the simple freshness of youth to gain depth: ripe citrus, brioche, dried fruits, and chalky notes mingle without erasing the vintage's structure. An archival Dom Pérignon, powerful yet still held together by its acidity. Here, time has not mellowed 1996: it has made it more precise.
