Parker about Dom Pérignon Champagne Brut 2005
The 2005 Dom Pérignon has a brilliant white-golden color and is intense on the yeasty nose, where vegetal aromas along with almond and rather discreet fruit flavors are displayed, before they intensify and become more rich. Firm, fresh and elegant, this is a full-bodied, complex and pretty rich, well concentrated and creamy-textured DP with a tightly woven structure; it still has a somewhat edgy finish. There is a bit more Pinot Noir than usual in this blend, whereas the quantity produced is relatively low. Due to strict selections, just half of the normal quantity was produced.

Suckling over Dom Pérignon Champagne Brut 2005
I believe that the 2005 DP is the best since 2002, which remains the best recent vintage and is probably only eclipsed by the amazing 100-point 1996. The 2005 is a full-bodied DP with so much richness and loads of ripe fruit such as pineapple and papaya. It has a wonderful, creamy texture and a long and intense finish. It's a Champagne that fully satisfies but at the same time challenges you with its strength, depth and persistence on the palate.

Dom Pérignon Champagne Brut 2005 is an exquisite vintage champagne produced by the renowned champagne house Moët & Chandon. Named after the legendary Benedictine monk Dom Pérignon, considered a pioneer in champagne production, this wine represents the pinnacle of fine sparkling wines. Here are some of the distinguishing features of this champagne:
The 2005 vintage in Champagne was characterized by ideal conditions. A mild spring, followed by a warm summer and a sunny autumn, created optimal conditions for slow and even ripening of the grapes. This resulted in excellent fruit quality and complexity in the wine.
The Dom Pérignon Champagne Brut 2005 presents a seductive aromatic palette. Aromas of ripe fruits such as peach, apricot, and citrus combine with delicate floral notes of acacia blossoms. A subtle minerality and nuances of toasted bread and almonds add complexity.
On the palate, this champagne presents itself with remarkable balance and elegance. The fine perlage lends it a silky texture. Fruity notes are supported by a lively acidity structure, lending the wine freshness and vibrancy.
The structure of the Dom Pérignon Champagne Brut 2005 is remarkable for its depth and refinement. The finely balanced tannins and the persistent finish underline the exceptional quality of this champagne.
