The 2004 vintage clearly demonstrates that ease, but its true personality was only revealed thanks to the dry heat during the last few weeks. The growing and fruit ripening periods went by smoothly, with no difficulties, a phenomenon that we have rarely, if ever, seen before.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 2004 vintage leaves its mark on the history of Dom Perignon for its ease and harmony. In contrast with the year before, vine growth was regular and progressed without incident, while the bunches were of a significant number and size. The weather remained moderate for some time with the month of August particularly cool the vintage was defined by the dry heat of the final weeks before the harvest. The harvest began on September 24th with the grapes displaying excellent ripeness and health.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt is the Chef de Cave's prerogative to decide when a vintage should see the light of day. After no fewer than eight years of aging on the lees, Dom Perignon Vintage 2004 now reveals its first radiant expression, with the promise of more plenitudes to come. Right from the start, Vintage 2004 opens up in an astonishing way, with great ease, extroverted and symbiotic. Gradually, with rare elegance, it glides between density and buoyancy in a seamless crescendo leading into the chiseled complexity of a singular universe.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReview:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Another stellar wine, the 2004 Dom Pérignon is just starting to show the first signs of aromatic development, as well as a bit of added weight it did not have as a young wine. The 2004 remains a bright, mid-weight DP built on persistence and length more than overt volume. I have always had a soft spot for the 2004. This tasting does nothing to dampen that enthusiasm.  Drink 2019-2039.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e  97\/100 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dom Perignon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55628568101243,"sku":null,"price":349.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0066\/2123\/3203\/files\/2004.webp?v=1752943835","url":"https:\/\/www.365drinks.co.uk\/products\/dom-perignon-champagne-vintage-2004-750ml-no-box","provider":"365 Drinks Limited","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
