Dom Pérignon Brut P2 Plénitude 2000 is a prestigious Champagne, the second release (Plénitude 2) of the 2000 vintage, representing an extended aging (around 15+ years) for intensified complexity, energy, and richness, offering notes of brioche, citrus, dried fruit, minerality, and smoke, with a long, savory finish, perfect for pairing with refined dishes or celebrating special occasions. 2000, known for a challenging climate but excellent late-season harvest.

Seventeen years ago, Dom Pérignon started commercially offering recently-disgorged bottles through their iconic Oenothèque program and the world of Champagne was transformed forever. The Plénitudes program now replaces Oenothèque and offers a very explicit snapshot of Dom Pérignon's "drinking windows".

The second plénitude is intended to capture this Champagne's intense, energetic, and ultra-defined character. The just-released vintage 2000 exemplifies this stage and the wisdom of the DP's late-disgorgement release schedule. The complexity and maturity of the extended lees contact, combined with the tightly coiled mineral explosiveness makes this wine a dazzling fireworks display. The 2000 P2 possesses an enchanting elegance that is at once understated yet downright impressive.

The P2 and P3 showcase the impeccable palate, foresight and winemaking brilliance of Dom Pérignon's Chef de Cave Richard Geoffroy. His intimate knowledge, understanding and ongoing development of the Dom Pérignon style is magnified through the plénitude program.
