Dom Pérignon Chef de Cave Legacy Edition 2008

Wine Spectator wine of the year #5, 2018

Celebrate a historic vintage from Dom Pérignon, the world’s most iconic Champagne producer, with the limited-edition Chef de Cave Legacy Edition. This exceptional bottling, a tribute to the legendary Richard Geoffroy, is crafted from a balanced blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

The 2008 is widely hailed as a miracle vintage, delivering both power and athletic precision. Its stunning quality was affirmed by a Wine Spectator score of 96 points and its inclusion as the #5 Wine in the Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2018. Other top critics awarded even higher marks, including 98 points from James Suckling, Jeb Dunnuck, and Vinous.

On the palate, it explodes with a crystalline purity, showing a complex bouquet of white flowers, citrus, and stone fruit, underscored by a subtle smoky minerality. Toned, deep, and beautifully delineated, the wine possesses a vivid acidity that is remarkably integrated. While immensely rewarding now, this is a vintage for the ages, with a drinking window that extends effortlessly to 2040 and beyond. Secure this piece of Champagne history.
