Dom Pérignon 2017 stands among the house’s most compelling releases in years — and one of its rarest. Awarded 97 points by Antonio Galloni, it is currently his highest-scoring Champagne of the 2017 vintage. Given that 2002 ranks among Dom Pérignon’s greatest vintages, the comparison speaks volumes - this is a seriously impressive release. What elevates it further is its sheer scarcity. Production amounts to roughly three months of global supply. Galloni notes that the 2017 is barely commercially viable, yet under Chef de Caves Vincent Chaperon, Dom Pérignon continues to bottle these wines as a true record of the year, even when quantities are vanishingly small. We’re very glad they do.
