Champagne Dom Pérignon 2018

98 points | Vinous (Tasted 2025) “The 2018 Dom Pérignon is explosive, bright and so vibrant in the glass. Medium in body, with layers of understated depth, the 2018 dazzles from start to finish. Lemon peel, chalk, mint and white pepper all open with a bit of coaxing. Readers will find a Dom Pérignon of unreal precision and class. Drink 2028-2058.” Antonio Galloni 98 points | Vinous (Tasted 2025) “The 2018 Dom Pérignon is a total stunner. Bright and crystalline in the glass, the 2018 sizzles with mineral-drenched tension. Citrus peel, chalk, white flowers and slate are some of the many nuances that open with a bit of coaxing. The 2018 will need a few years to start hitting its stride, but it is super-impressive in the early going. Stylistically, it reminds me of the 2004 (also a high-yielding vintage) in its slender, lithe build. Drink 2026-2048” Antonio Galloni 18 points | Corney & Barrow “Toasted almonds and lightly baked apple on the nose with just the merest hint of stone fruit. There feels a saline edge to the fruit which translates to the palate with peach richness alongside flashes of fresh greengage and yellow plum. Ultra fine to finish with refined mousse and persistent sea spray freshness. A joy of nuanced fruit detail all bound by precise acids.” Drink 2026-2038.” 18+ points | Jancis Robinson “A no brainer for hedonists” 99 points | James Suckling
