The result is full-bodied and silky, with an acidic foundation and finish redolent of peonies and white pepper.

First Class customers travelling throughout November and December 2024 will have the incredible opportunity to savour Dom Pérignon Plénitude 2 2004. The exceptionally rare 2004 vintage in its second plénitude is a limited release, forming part of Emirates’ award-winning portfolio of exclusive matured wines and champagne. Presenting an affirmed and precise minerality, the second plénitude of this excellent vintage offers citrusy notes of pink grapefruit and blood oranges, that gently cede to figs. Its’ 20 years on the lees elevates the minerality with the sublime maturity that is Dom Pérignon’s signature, featuring rich notes of cocoa, mocha, roasted nuts, brioche, honey, and licorice.
