The Plénitude concept (originally Oenothèque) has been under development at Dom Pérignon for many years. After studying the natural aging process that vintage champagne goes through during its lifetime, Dom Pérignon's team found that instead of improving steadily and linearly (as is the case with many wines), it develops and matures through three defined stages in his life.
The first release (P1) comes about 8 years after the harvest and is the style that most consumers are familiar with. The second phase (P2) takes about 15 years, during which the cuvée takes a big leap to a new level of quality, where it will be for many years until we get to the third Plénitude (P3). Here the champagne is aged for another 20-30 years until it reaches its ultimate peak. Originally these mature vintages were made available under limited release called "Oenothèque", but were re-branded in 2014 as "Plénitude".
Weather in 2004: Unlike the previous year, vine growth was regular and developed well, producing bunches of considerable number and size. While the weather remained stable for a long time, the month of August was particularly cool. The vintage was defined by the dry heat in the last few weeks before harvest. Dom Pérignon 2004 is nuanced and precise and is a natural sum of perfectly consistent parts.
Tasting notes: Floating from the glass with aromas of sweet fruit, fresh peach, pastry cream, buttered toast and candies. Medium to full-bodied and with an ample, enveloping core of fruit, juicy acids and a beautiful precise mousse.

97/100 Points: Alison Napjus (winespectator.com)
Delivers mandarin orange, ripe cherry, raspberry and apricot fruit notes, which are an exuberant burst of flavor at the entry point of this otherwise refined and subtle Champagne. The expressive fruit is joined on the lacy mousse by toast, pastry cream, Earl Gray tea leaf and an underpinning of minerally chalk and smoke. Lithe and graceful on the palate, but with a dancer's sense of restrained power. Drink now through 2037.
