Champagne Dom Pérignon 2005
Champagne, FranceI wasn’t expecting such a fine showing from the 2005 but winemaker Richard Geoffrey does it again. September rains impacted the yields and the final blend; some 50 percent of the 2005 is chardonnay which explains its elegance and lift right out of the glass. The nose will wow you with its expressive chalky mineral notes. It’s lighter than the 2004 but the trade-off is the electricity and fragrance. It’s not really built for a decade or two but it is sure is delicious now. Again very good stuff and given the ridiculous price of top Bordeaux and Burgundy you may want to consider buying some of this instead.
