Metamorphosis by Dom Pérignon

We agree that Champagne is a wine suitable for everyday enjoyment. However, we also agree that some Champagnes are so rare or so special that they must be savored. Today, we'll talk about two such champagnes, both from Dom Perignon.

Dom Pérignon Metamorphosis marks the end of Dom Pérignon Vintage 2004 as we know it in its First Plénitude, and celebrates its metamorphosis into P2, the Second Plénitude of Dom Pérignon.

The Dom Pérignon limited edition collaboration centers on metamorphosis: signifying the closure of one period and the birth of another, and a powerful symbol of evolution, transformation and renaissance.

In today's frenetic world we have forgotten how to enjoy the essence of time. Power and energy are generated when one is able to seize a singular moment and stop time's trail.

Some still have that unique gift to seize the moment, to capture that rare energy of pure plénitude in time.

Richard Geoffroy, Dom Pérignon’s Chef de Cave, has worked with time to seize rare moments of intensity and pure energy in order to create exceptional products, unique tastes and emotions.

The process begins in the darkness of the cellars where the champagne spends extra time to create a new energy. This is a unique expertise crafted by Dom Pérignon and known as the Plénitude System.

Each Plénitude has a distinct universe and generates a distinct emotion.

The First Plénitude is revealed after at least seven years of maturation on the lees, depending on the vintage. The wine then embodies the perfect balance of Dom Pérignon, its greatest promise. This is Dom Pérignon Vintage, the Plénitude of harmony.

The Second Plénitude asserts itself after a minimum of 12 years of maturation on the lees. In this window of expression, the wine is majestic in its Dom Pérignon intensity. Here it expresses its scope, its expansion. This is Dom Pérignon P2, the Plénitude of energy.

The Third Plénitude then comes after a minimum of 20 years of maturation on the lees. The wine now fully embodies another dimension where its essence enters the unknown. This is the Plénitude of complexity.

After three metamorphoses, Dom Pérignon’s uniqueness is almost completely revealed and accomplished.

Such a process can exist nowhere else. This is Dom Pérignon’s own creation, the “Power of Creation”.

During each of the wine’s Plénitudes, with an enlightened sense of drama, certain Dom Pérignon traits are distinguished without ever denying the others.

Thus the way in which the wine reveals itself is different each time, yet so close.

This process is the expression of a true vision of wine and veritable work of its architecture. The Chef de Cave is the master.

Exalted in this Second Plénitude, the dark, mineral, iodine, spiced singularity of Dom Pérignon vibrates higher and clearer than ever. The experience of the Dom Pérignon Second Plénitude unfolds in a high-definition universe, both intense and penetrating.

Dom Pérignon P2 owes its intensity to its precision and is the reward for this sharp mastery of wine. Tasting the wine is a memorable experience, abundant in intense and penetrating sensations and vividly fresh emotions. A new luxury of uniqueness appears. This facet of the brand underscores the avant-gardism of Dom Pérignon.

This is Dom Pérignon P2, the Plénitude of Energy.
