The 2008 Dom P2 is an exclamation point to the excellent, original 2008 DP release. This is a new level of P2 that is head/shoulders beyond 2000, 2002, 2004, and even 2006. Every taste is better than the last, with citrus and green apple crispiness and oyster shells in the mix. Happy to have scored a 6 pack of this. — 2 days ago

Not sure if anyone’s noticed, but lately, my tasting notes here have been a little scarce. Not for lack of tasting - trust me, the bottles have been opened, the glasses filled, and my palate put to work. But so many have been uninspiring, fleeting, forgotten before the last sip. And then, boom! A bottle like this.

Popped in the morning, savored through the evening. Great at first, but by dinner, it had truly unfurled. The nose? Cherries, plums, warm spices, rose hips, pink peppercorn, chalk, and orange zest, with a whisper of apricot. The palate? Plush yet precise, broad yet focused. Biscuity richness and an electric minerality. A saline, vinous, full-bodied stunner that lingers impossibly long.

This just reaffirms what I think about this wine - one of the best pink expressions from Champagne, period.

NB: In my mind (and admittedly, limited experience), the best champagne rosé’s include:

Selosse Rosé - haven’t had it in ages, but many bottles had in the past have brought great joy.

Bouchard Enfer - honestly, my sample size is too small, but both times were really impressive; though it must be noted that my company then thought it was more intellectual than pleasurable (too phenolic and soft).

Bereche Remensis - best value rosé? Consistently delicious and complex.

I have heard from friends that the DP P2 and P3 rosé’s deserve to be high on any list. Hope to try them one day.

Crisp and tasty. Notes of pear, green apple. Not as effervescent as other champagnes. Closer to the bubbles from a Dom P2. I enjoyed it very much with caviar and creme fresh — 7 years ago

Medium lemon straw , slight deeper than the P2 1998 served alongside . More persistent perlage than the P2, very fine . Here the nose is slightly deeper and more penetrating, with rich spiced citrus , buttered brioche , crushed chalk , seashell hints . This is powerful and dense on the palate , lemon , mineral , and chalky hints , fresh and vital, white flowers , even a touch of Indian spice. Long and balanced , still pretty youthful and probably needs more time to fully integrate the shear extract this has on the palate. Perfectly formed , with a fantastic future , better in 5 -8 years and will last a further decade. The complete package, spellbinding. — 4 months ago

Comment later.. a day later. This is a very expressive, if not dramatic, wine with a satin floral finish and more than a hint of brioche. While I have enjoyed the P2, both rosé and brut, this is a first P3 experience with some of the best wine friends ever. And that's the value of all wine. Share with friends. — 5 years ago

Last week was a combo of 4th Friday and Open That Bottle Night on back to back nights. Needless to say, the lineup between both days was full of heavy hitters, so I’m only posting standout bottles.

The insane champagnes continued with this also from @joe leatherwood . I think this may be the best Dom I’ve had to date (up there with the 2000 P2). Where the Selosse was oxidized and powerful, this was more finesse and layered. Still retaining a lot of those warm/fresh baked bread notes as well as honeyed stone fruits, this showed more chalk, limestone, and “lift” to it. A streak of minerality was noticeable down the middle of the palate. Caramel nougat, and a wonderful balance of floral notes highlight the finish. Bravo! — 6 years ago

Selected to celebrate the wedding of Prince Harry to Meghan Markle. Pale to mid Gold. Complex yet fresh which must be the aim of every Champagne maker hence RD and P2 etc. The Gosset has spent 12 years on Lees and no malolactic fermentation which gives it a charge of malic acid providing longevity for years to come. Lemon and Apple notes. As Tyson Stelzer said “Children of 2002 meet your 30th Birthday Present “ Finishes with a Saline minerality. 48% Pinot Noir; 52% Chardonnay. A wonderful Champagne. — 8 years ago

I’m fortunate to have found rare deals at charity events and I have 2000, 2002,2004 and now 2006. And the latter 2006 is the hands down winner of the lot. Crispy fresh, lemon zest with hint of brioche. It is a wow! — 5 months ago

Brilliant. This is Strawberry Fields Forever played in bubbles with a hint florals and lemon zest. The P2 rosés are rare and always a good find. — a year ago

After a couple months of hiatus, the Friday City Club group was able to get back together (albeit a smaller, more spread out group) for an epic hosting by @joe leatherwood . 1 sparkler, 2 whites, 5 reds and 1 dessert wine, all served blind.

Everyone in the room knew this was something spectacular from first whiff. It was one of those wines where every aspect felt perfect as not one thing stood out. It was slightly yeasty but also fresh and citrus driven. Rich, but racy. Baked lemon pastries, caramel dipped golden delicious apple, classic chalk and limestone. Incredible mousse. I called this late ‘90s Dom Oenotechque/P2. — 6 years ago
