The 2004 Dom Pérignon P2 is drinking beautifully on release, wafting from the glass with aromas of sweet orchard fruit, fresh peach, pastry cream, buttered toast and cotton candy that display a less reductive profile than the original disgorgement. Medium to full-bodied, pillowy and charming, with an ample, enveloping core of fruit, succulent acids and a pretty pinpoint mousse, it concludes with a long, sapid finish. Forward and giving, there's no obvious reason to defer gratification.

The extended lees ageing given to P2 has rendered this open, giving vintage with an extra degree of savoury intrigue; it’s deeply umami and nutty, almost meaty in savour on the one hand, yet also beautifully ample in fruit with sweet plum, lime and caramelised peach. It’s a fascinating counterpart to the standard release, although the differences between them are perhaps more stylistic than purely qualitative.

Dom Pérignon Vintage is patiently elevated to a new summit of expression. 
We call this elevation Plénitude 2. 

After close to 15 years in the darkness of the cellar, expansion of energy reaches its peak and the wine rises to an apex of essential, radiant vitality. Elevated to new heights, Dom Pérignon's uniqueness sings out higher and clearer than ever before.

Season
2004, ease & generosity
With its remarkable ease and generosity, the 2004 winemaking year stands out in the history of Dom Pérignon. 
The year unfolded in a virtually ideal scenario. Each season segued to the next with ease and fluidity, devoid of disturbances or excess. A rather cool August was followed by a few weeks of dry heat that made the vintage.
The harvest began on September 24th, providing grapes that were superbly ripe. 

Renaissance & calm
After the syncopated rhythms of 2003, Vintage 2004 Plénitude 2 appears evident, a year of renaissance and calm.
The wine balances on the edge with immediacy and surprise, evolving between tension and weightlessness. 

An affirmed and precise minerality
The 2004 fruit remains discreet, yet more clearly defined in this second plenitude of the Vintage. Citrusy notes of pink grapefruit and blood oranges gently cede to figs. 
The additional time on the lees elevates the minerality of the vintage with the sublime maturity that is Dom Pérignon’s signature. Plénitude 2, 2004, has notes of Cocoa, mocha, roasted nuts, brioche and honey.
The wine balances on the edge with immediacy and surprise, evolving between tension and weightlessness. 
It has an extreme, tactile precision, deep and sculptural. 
The sensations come together in a persistent and elegant finish, underlined by sappy, licorice notes.

Food & wine pairing
Dom Pérignon Vintage 2004 Plénitude 2 offers attractive pairing possibilities, diving into concepts, ingredients, styles, to explore different recipes.
The wine is vibrant, a trait that can be revealed by lobster, molé verde and cardamom. 
The combination of veal, dashi broth and spirulina will bring out the paradoxical facet of the wine while pigeon, pistachio and kalamanci baklava will highlight its light.
The wine is tactile: a green tomato sorbet will magnify its silky, creamy character.
The wine exhibits a balanced tension: a facet that can be explored thanks to roasted pineapple, candied citrus peel and aniseed.
