Notes:
The Plénitude concept has been years in development at Dom Pérignon and they have identified the natural course of aging that Vintage Champagne takes. Rather than improving steadily as is the case with many wines, it seems to take 3 defined stages in its life. The first release (P1) comes approximately 8 years after the vintage and is the style that most are familiar with and is currently the 2006 vintage. The second stage (P2) takes roughly 15 years and really takes a profound leap to a new quality level where it will plateau for many years in terms of improvement. Finally the third Plénitude (P3) will see the champagne ageing another 20-30 years until it peaks with both previously falling under the Oenothèque banner.
This is a note from Galloni May 2014 - Disgorged 2012. Keep in mind that the P3 program was created the following year doing away with the Oenotheque program.
Dom Pérignon's 1982 Oenothèque is positively addicting. An exotic mélange of honey, apricot, wild flowers, mint, spices, dried pears and graphite captivates all the senses in an utterly vivid, translucent Champagne endowed with stunning class and pure energy. Layers of fruit continue to blossom in the glass as this ample, textured Champagne shows off its utterly captivating personality. This is another stunning, drop-dead gorgeous beauty from Dom Pérignon. This bottle was disgorged in 2012. Vinous/Galloni 97
