Dom Pérignon 2017 Vintage
The 2017 growing season in Champagne was far from straightforward. Severe April frosts swept across the region, sharply reducing yields, followed by a warm summer that concentrated the surviving fruit. The result is a notably small release, making each bottle particularly coveted among collectors and enthusiasts.
Critics have been quick to recognise its quality. Antonio Galloni awards 97 points, describing the wine as “a mini-2002”—a comparison with one of the most celebrated Champagne vintages of modern times. He praises its textural richness and resonance, noting the wine’s creamy, layered character and vibrant energy.
In the glass, Dom Pérignon 2017 reveals citrus peel, orchard fruit and dried apricot, followed by deeper notes of buttered toast, toasted hazelnut and a hint of cocoa, all carried by the house’s familiar smoky nuance and fine mousse.
On the palate, generosity is balanced by precision. Creamy fruit and vibrant acidity combine to give the wine both poise and length, creating the tension between richness and freshness that defines great Dom Pérignon.
Aromatic, layered and unmistakably refined, Vintage 2017 is a captivating addition to the Dom Pérignon lineage—a Champagne that will give pleasure today while evolving beautifully in the cellar over the coming decades.
Why We Love It
Dom Pérignon 2017 combines narrative intrigue with genuine quality. As Richard Geoffroy’s final vintage it carries historical significance, while its high critic scores, small production and elegant balance make it one of the most compelling recent releases from this legendary house.
