As it lands on the tongue, its edges are climbing up the palate, fulling a more complete tactile space. The acid frame is entwined with bitter and umami hints, as if it was braided, hence becoming more consistant. It unfurls like the Kanagawa wave, scintillating, radiating, lilting. Candied lemon, bergamot, white peach, cocoa, roasted coffee. Its freshness is vibrant as well as silky, with a solar presence, slightly iodized.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDom Pérignon Vintage 2008 Plénitude 2 is distinguished by its soft, warm character, ideally expressed when paired with seafood such as langoustine and scallops. This wine pairing harmony continues with veal and Jerusalem artichoke dishes, which highlight its delicate, enveloping nature. The flavours are further enhanced by herbs such as rosemary and basil, while hints of acidity from lemon and bergamot fully reveal its breadth and refined structure. This vintage illustrates Dom Pérignon’s ability to create fine wines that capture and enhance the essence of the ingredients with which they are served.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCritic Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e100 Points - James Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMagical, showing floral perfumes of jasmine, lavender and orange blossoms.

Crème de cassis, grilled Macadamia nut, warm fig, tangerine peel, pastry cream and candied ginger notes are a rich and finely-detailed weave of flavor that glides across the palate. A beauty, echoing fruit, spice and pastry notes and an underlying streak of salinity on the long, long finish.

Born of a cool, slow-ripening season that endowed the wine with its incisive acid spine and raciness, perfected through the selection of origins that contribute the texture and plenitude only real maturity can impart, it wafts from the glass with aromas of orange, nashi pear, honeysuckle and toasted hazelnut, mingling with brioche and a touch of smoky reduction. On the palate, it is full-bodied, multifaceted and vividly bright, with a layered, concentrated core of fruit, its ripe yet racy acids and pinpoint mousse carrying it to a long, searingly chalky finish.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf the 1996 Plénitude 2 was a success at Dom Pérignon, then the 2008 Plénitude 2 appears to surpass that, ranking among the greatest achievements of Richard Geoffroy, the house’s former cellar master. All in all, it is more energetic and incisive than the 2002 Plénitude 2 was on release, and anyone fortunate enough to secure a bottle will have no difficulty finishing it. 2026-2049\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e98 Points - Decanter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eThe extra seven years of ageing on lees under cork versus the original Dom Pérignon 2008 release has wrapped up all the year's innate tension and brightness in an unabashedly decadent, enveloping richness of toasted nuts, fresh dough and gentle oyster cream, although the precision and integrity of the vintage is absolutely present too. There are beautiful aromas of pure red strawberry and bergamot with some darker mocha notes emerging, both Chardonnay linearity and a surprisingly fragrant Pinot finding a perfect equilibrium. The palate carries the buzzing acidity of 2008 on a time-softened, ultra-silky mousse, with new details of umami savour tucked in subtly to the overall impression of glacial freshness. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the reputation of the original release, this is among the most memorable and energetic of The Plénitude released made since the program of late releases took the name in 2014.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BSW Liquor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47737159680230,"sku":"144934","price":715.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0567\/3759\/5545\/files\/2008-Dom-Perignon-P2.webp?v=1780507032","url":"https:\/\/www.bswliquor.com\/products\/dom-perignon-p2-2010","provider":"BSW Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
