Dom Perignon, P3 1990

Dom Pérignon P3 1990
When the ‘P’ in P3 stands for Plénitude, translating to ‘completeness’ or ‘abundance’, you can assume Dom Pérignon has left nothing on the table when creating its ultimate expression. The 1990 has spent a minimum of 25 years ageing on its lees and was not released until 2019. With fewer than 20 P3 vintages ever created, and only in years when the Cellar Master believes the wine is capable of reaching this level of evolution, Dom Pérignon P3 1990 is an exceptionally rare Champagne.
The 1990 vintage is particularly special, coming from one of Champagne’s great years and now offering an extraordinary combination of maturity, concentration and freshness. Expect layers of ripe yellow fruit, dried white flowers, honeycomb and brioche, with extended lees ageing bringing incredible texture, depth and complexity. This is Champagne at its most profound: powerful without being heavy, complex without losing precision, and with a finish that seems to go on indefinitely.
James Suckling awarded the standard Dom Pérignon 1990 99 points, so you might say the 100-point scale isn’t even enough to do Dom Pérignon P3 1990 justice. For collectors, this is a rare opportunity to experience Dom Pérignon at the very furthest point of its evolution – a truly transcendent Champagne and the pinnacle of the house’s craftsmanship.
