BEARING WITNESS TO CLIMATE CHANGE
After a particularly harsh, dry winter, early April 2003 brought severe frosts that caused significant losses. Going from one extreme to the other, temperatures began rising in late May to reach exceptional highs – a heat wave that brought the Champagne region its hottest summer in fifty-three years and the driest in a decade. With ripening accelerated by the heat and low grape yield, to everyone’s surprise, harvesting began on August 21.
BOLD & CREATIVE
Vintage 2003 Plénitue 2 embodies Dom Pérignon's commitment to take risks. Bold and creative action made it possible to exist and express the uniqueness of the year 2003.
A VERTICAL & PROFOUND WINE
The bouquet reveals itself in a spiral. Out of the floral softness of lime tree emerges the grey, toasted, ashy minerality to typical of Dom Pérignon. A taste of dried fruit – apricot – appears, then the candied fruitiness of raspberry and fig. Unexpectedly, the freshness of lemon verbena, white pepper and rosemary rises for an instant, before plunging into the darkness of spices and liquorice root.
This is a physical wine. It calls to you and draws you in, more tactile and vibrant than aromatic. Like a wave, it is built on rhythm and breaks: first it unfolds, then envelops before withdrawing into a deep, dark verticality that slowly stretches towards a bitter, sapid iodine sensation.
