新鮮牛油麵包、青梨、帶蠟質的柑橘皮、碘鹽氣息，以及細緻的酵母自溶香氣，為2009 年的 Dom Pérignon 揭開序幕。酒體中等至飽滿，寬廣圓潤，風味集中。雖然是這款旗艦香檳有史以來成熟度最高的一個年份，但依然酸度活潑。正如我今年早前所寫，這款酒雖然平易近人又具包覆感，但骨架紮實、活力十足，具備不錯的中期陳年潛力；隨着時間退去早期的豐滿感，這份實力會愈見明顯。

這款 Dom Pérignon 充分展現出 2009 年成熟飽滿的特質，同時活力十足。香氣極之出色，融合忌廉、蘋果、芒果、金銀花與白堊礦物風味；口感飽滿，極為細緻。酒質綿密又靈動，風格如頂級特級園布根地白酒——令人聯想到 Bâtard-Montrachet。相比 2006 年份更具深度。現已適飲。

Dom Pérignon is the flagship Champagne of Moët & Chandon, named after the “Father of Champagne.” The house releases only in outstanding vintages, each expressing the terroir of its year. Every vintage matures for at least eight years in the cellar, developing complexity and fullness.

Blessed with unprecedented, sustained fine weather, the 2009 vintage saw grapes reach their absolute peak. It delivers concentrated, ripe fruit while retaining vibrant energy and acidity, gaining even greater depth and generosity with age.

Aromas of fresh brioche, green pear, waxy citrus rind, iodine and subtly autolytic top notes mingle in an inviting bouquet, introducing the 2009 Dom Pérignon. It's a medium to full-bodied, broad and fleshy wine that's rich and textural, with good concentration and lively acids despite being the ripest rendition in the history of this cuvée. As I wrote earlier this year, while the wine is open and enveloping, there's also enough energy and structure here to promise good mid-term aging potential, something that becomes more apparent as the wine loses a little puppy fat.

This is a DP that shows the ripeness of the 2009 vintage yet remains full of energy. Gorgeous aromas of cream, apple, mango, honeysuckle, and chalk follow through to a full body and super fine, tight texture. Dense and agile. Vinous. It’s like a top grand cru white Burgundy. Think Bâtard-Montrachet. More depth than the 2006. Drink now.
