The 96 Dom is an exceptional example of how Champagne, in all its simplicity, can be more than words can describe. This wine does not over extend itself in any way, rather it seduces. It opens with aromas of citrus, toast and yeast and then follows with similar flavors. Mildly frothy in the mouth, the wine has a gradual warming sensation that brings in a mineral component. The finish is long and glorious. Reminded my of the 96 J. Lassalle, but with all the loose ends tied up. You can find a more flashy Champagne, but this one really did it on elegance.
