Dom Pérignon 2015's 96 points from Vinous' Antonio Galloni places Dom Pérignon comfortably among Galloni's top 10 wines of the vintage in Champagne and only two score higher. No surprises there, this is Dom Pérignon after all!
2015 was a warm vintage, at times challenging, though the winemaking team were delighted with the quality of the harvested Pinot Noir, which was "fruity and powerful, ample and structured, altogether full and delicate". The Chardonnay on the other hand was less even, requiring significant sorting, though the resultant wine remains true to the house style with an almost 50/50 blend between the two grapes. For Galloni the result is "terrific", with "gorgeous tension and backbone" and "a fine showing in a vintage that has proven to be tricky".
The Wine Advocate's Yohan Castaing is also a huge fan, awarding 95 points and remarking on the combination of "customary charm and vinous generosity" with "a remarkably linear and well-defined style that diverges markedly from the more familiar expressions of Dom Pérignon". This should be especially interesting for collectors as the 2015 is quite unique in the pantheon of great vintages of Dom Pérignon. This is yet another sublime addition to the DP portfolio.

What the critics say:
"The 2015 Dom Pérignon is terrific. Bright and poised, the 2015 shows terrific energy. Citrus peel, white flowers, mint, white pepper and slate all race across the palate. There's gorgeous tension and backbone here, with bright saline notes that extend the mid-palate and finish. This is a fine showing in a vintage that has proven to be tricky. I am intrigued to see how the 2015 develops in the coming years."
"Disgorged in January 2023, the 2015 Dom Pérignon shows a singular, ethereal profile with aromas of white pepper, iodine, ripe orchard fruits, toast, smoke, herbs and spices. Medium to full-bodied, layered, and structured, it’s enveloping and round with a delicate phenolic mid-palate that underlines chalky dry extracts, concluding with a sapid, penetrating finish with gastronomic bitterness. This iteration of Dom Pérignon, though replete with the customary charm and vinous generosity that typify the label, distinguishes itself by its structural delicate austerity and a notably phenolic profile, giving rise to a remarkably linear and well-defined style that diverges markedly from the more familiar expressions of Dom Pérignon. This is a blend of 51% Pinot Noir and 49% Chardonnay with a dosage of 4.5 grams per liter; it will age wonderfully and can be enjoyed now or over the next 20 years."
