Cuvée Dom Pérignon Réserve de l'Abbaye, also known as Dom Pérignon Gold or simply Gold Réserve, is a stand-alone series in the Dom Pérignon range released exclusively for the Japanese Market. Branded as an ultra-deluxe product, it undergoes about twenty years of extended ageing on the lees - longer than the ageing of Dom Pérignon Plénitude 2.

Named after the Abbaye d’Hautvillers where Dom Pierre Pérignon was cellarmaster from 1668 until his death in 1715.

It is unknown how many bottles of this rare vintage have been produced but they are extremely scarce; this is the 2003 vintage, the latest contribution to this exceptional range of Champagne.

There is a subtle note of petrol is present on the admirably pure and cool aromas of apple, pear, lemon-lime and mineral reduction. The succulent, concentrated and almost painfully intense larger-scaled flavors brim with both dry extract and an almost aggressive stoniness that adds a sense of lift to the powerful yet refined, chalky and youthfully austere finale. Like the '21 version, this compact, bone-dry and borderline tannic effort is clearly very backward, and I would expect an almost glacial evolution in bottle though it should be well worth the wait. A classic Musigny blanc.

The 2018 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Blanc Grand Cru, which is aged in 20% new oak, is lucid silver in color. Its gorgeous bouquet features scents of lemon thyme, mirabelle, orange zest and touches of crushed stone, conveying energy and tension. A menthol note emerges with time in the glass. The palate is very well balanced with peach, lemon curd, almond and praline notes. Not exotic but sensual and beautifully defined.

Cuvée Dom Pérignon Oenothéque is a special Cuvée of Dom Pérignon that is disgorged after being aged on lees for years and released only when the “Chef de Cave” (cellar master) deems it perfect for release. Oenothéque wines are marked by complex aging notes, fine elegance, and aromatic intensity. However, the Moët & Chandon Champagne house doesn’t produce the Oenothéque bottle anymore. It has rebranded the Oenothéque wine as “Plenitude”.

It has been quite a few years since I last tasted the 1982 Dom Perignon Rose, especially the original release. This bottle, one of the best I have ever had, proves that provenance and storage are everything. Immediately captivating, the 1982 soars from the glass with the most exquisite bouquet imaginable. A rush of silky, red-fleshed fruit follows. The 1982 is at once gentle and dynamic, providing endless contrasts that are fascinating to follow. Like all great Champagnes, it continues to open beautifully in the glass, revealing myriad shades of its complex personality with each taste. In the past, I have often found the 1982 to be on the decline. This bottle is a rare exception. Even so, I would not push my luck on further cellaring, as there is not much more to be gained. Superb.

Veiga França was a brandname owned by Henriques &amp; Henriques, Madeira wine producers since 1850. This particular wine was purchased by them from another producer which was common in those days and actually still is. Terrantez, a.k.a. Cascal was once widely used on the island but is currently near extinct. Terrantez is a low yielding wine with the potential to make rich full-bodied wines with a highly perfumed bouquet. The bottle is originally sealed, filling level between ms and ls.

Krug Clos du Mesnil, a very rare Champagne, showcases the unique character of a single plot of Chardonnay, harvested in a single year. This 1.84 hectare vineyard overlooked by the village church has been protected by walls since 1698. The vineyard is located in the heart of Mesnil-sur-Oger, one of the most iconic villages for Chardonnay in the Champagne region.

In 1979, the Krug brothers decided to make a Champagne created exclusively from grapes of this Clos and this single year. Krug Clos du Mesnil 1979 was born at a time when the conventions in Champagne concentrated on blending multiple wines from varied plots.
