Dom Pérignon P2 Vintage 1998 at Jimmy in Bologna
The 1998 vintage in its Second Plénitude: extended ageing on the lees and a champagne worth exploring.
Dom Pérignon P2 Vintage 1998 at Jimmy. Our photograph shows the bottle, presentation box and glass at our bar on Via Petroni, against the venue’s blue-lit bottle wall.
Understanding Second Plénitude
P2 marks an expressive stage reached through extended ageing on the lees. It is not simply a bottle from the first release kept for longer: the additional time before disgorgement is part of the Maison’s approach.
The harvest and the release
1998 is the harvest year; the P2 version was introduced in 2014, around sixteen years later. These dates describe different stages of the wine’s history.
Its tasting profile
Reviews describe floral, apricot and almond notes, a broad texture and a persistent finish with mineral nuances. Extended ageing brings complexity alongside freshness. These are tasting descriptors, not added ingredients, and individual bottles continue to evolve.
