It isn't easy to find pristine examples of the 1961 Dom Pérignon from the original disgorgment, and many bottles are getting a little long in the tooth, but this has the potential to be an absolutely magical old Champagne. Soaring from the glass with a deep and complex bouquet of toasted nuts, honeycomb, dried fruits, ripe peach and mocha, this bottle—from a cold French cellar—was full-bodied, textural and enveloping, with superb depth at the core, racy acids and chalky back-end grip on the long, resonant finish. The 1961 Dom Pérignon ranks as one of René Philipponnat's greatest hits during his time as Moët's chef des caves.

The 1961 Dom Pérignon showed hazelnut and spice overtones in a fully resolved, feminine style. It improved dramatically throughout the evening and I found myself coming back to it often. Score: 95 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com 01 April 2008 |
