Dom Pérignon "P3" Brut Champagne 1985 // Gift Box

“Lees" are the deposits formed by the yeast left in each bottle of wine after fermentation, and they are essential to reaching the Dom Pérignon spirit. During maturation, there is a three-way interaction between the wine, the lees, and oxygen. The wine is actively evolving during this process, and over time, the lees help to protect the wine from oxidation and preserve the fruitiness and freshness of the wine. This balance allows the wine to age gracefully for an unlimited time. To achieve the signature Dom Pérignon style, each vintage is only released after 7 years of maturation on the lees.

But for the highest possible level of luxury and flavor, the Dom Pérignon "P3" label takes it a step further, and is only released after a minimum of 20 years on the lees. To guarantee its excellence, each and every P3 bottle is tasted at disgorging by a Dom Pérignon winemaker, as they are the only ones in the world with the ability to determine when the wine has reached the optimal stage in its evolution.

This 1985 Brut Champagne comes from a year with exceptional weather during peak harvesting season, creating a wine a distinctly floral first impression, that gives way to acacia honey and slightly preserved fruit flavor. The palate is full and vinous in the mouth, with prominent fig and raisin flavors that yields to notes evoking earthy undergrowth.

This special edition bottle even comes complete with a custom wooden gift box, to complete the experience of owning a bottle that is the very epitome of luxury, decadence, and class. Better than a sports car or even a designer timepiece, a bottle of truly incredible wine offers more than just an object to display: it's interactive, shareable, and truly memorable.
