Dom Pérignon Vintage 2009 Blanc 6 liters Mathusalem in wooden box

2009 vintage in iconic format

Dom Pérignon Vintage 2009 in Methuselah size (6 liters) is a champagne of a special class – a symbol of craftsmanship and prestige. This impressive bottle contains not only eight standard bottles of champagne, but also the essence of an extraordinary year in the Champagne region. As always with Dom Pérignon, it is exclusively vintage champagne – produced only in the best years – and 2009 is undoubtedly one of them.

Class of 2009 – A year of contrasts

The 2009 growing season started off difficultly with a mild and damp spring season that raised concerns about diseases in the vineyards. But in August the picture changed: the sun broke through and warm, dry weather created optimal ripening conditions for the grapes. The harvest could therefore begin on September 12th under perfect conditions – and the result was a wine with remarkable richness, balance and energy.

Taste experience

Dom Pérignon 2009 is surprisingly open and welcoming already now. The warm summer has given the grapes intense ripeness, which is beautifully balanced by lively acidity and elegance. On the nose you encounter aromas of guava, grapefruit and white peach, along with subtle notes of vanilla and toasted brioche.

On the tongue, the champagne feels silky smooth with great depth and finesse. A hint of licorice creeps into the aftertaste, adding complexity. The finish is long, clean and persistent – exactly as you would expect from Dom Pérignon.

Although it is already ready to drink, the 2009 vintage has great aging potential. Over time, it will develop even more depth with notes of nuts, coffee and dried fruit.

Serving

Serve Dom Pérignon 2009 chilled at 10–12 °C – preferably in large glasses to allow for the wine's aromatic complexity. A short decanting may be beneficial to fully open up the champagne.

A collector's item and an experience in itself

The Mathusalem format makes this champagne a true centerpiece for special occasions – ideal for large parties, weddings or as a gift for the collector who appreciates the extraordinary. Aging potential of approximately 45 years.
