The Oenoth�que label indicates that a Dom P�rignon vintage has reached either its second peak in maturity, with optimized intensity (15 to 20 years after harvest), or its third peak, with optimized complexity (after 30 years on the lees). Kept undisturbed in their original bottles in the Dom P�rignon cellars, these wines offer a rare opportunity to experience mature Champagnes aged in perfect conditions. Decanter, in their Vintage Guide, awards 1982 a perfect five-star rating in their Vintage Guide, remarking: 'An exceptionally fine, rich vintage.'
