The Plénitude concept (later disgorgement) gives the wines further strength in depth, with a different expression of the wines’ development. Left on the lees until deemed to be going through a second phase of evolution, this offers something which is simply not achievable if you were to have aged the original release in the traditional way. Keeping the wine on the lees (the bottles are actually stored upside down, or sur pointe) means the wine is almost in a state of suspended animation. The freshness and sheer complexity achieved is astonishing, as testified by the huge scores across the board. Head Wine Guru Tom is particularly fond of this wine, having hosted the launch of the first P2 release (1998) as Dom Pérignon’s ambassador in 2015.
Prior releases of P2 have often needed some time to come around, but this is not the case with the 2004, which is already singing! Those looking to get stuck in straight away will find a beautiful rendition of DP, with all the tension, precision and sumptuous fruit we expect from the house.
Optimal drinking window: Now - 2040
What the critics say:
"The 2004 Champagne Plentitudes 2 is a stark contrast to the 2003 vintage and offers a more compact and linear expression, with energetic tension and persistence. Composed of 38% Chardonnay and the rest Pinot Noir, the nose is flush with wet stone reminiscent of great Chablis, along with white nectarine and white flowers. The palate runs seamless with a super-fine mousse, vibrant peach orchard fruit, and a silky mineral texture. This may well prove to be the longer-lived of the two wines."
"The 2004 Dom Pérignon P2 is precise and wonderfully refined, just like the first release. There’s a hint of reduction from extended time on the cork as well as a feeling of effusiveness that is so appealing. Readers will find a super-classic DP. Dried flowers, brioche, apricot preserves, sage, mint and chamomile are seamless in the glass. The 2004 can be enjoyed now or cellared for another decade plus. Some editions of the P2 series have been pretty austere in the early going; the 2004 is not among them."
