Popped and poured to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, from a Magnum.
Aged nicely and likely in its drinking window.
Notes of brioche, lemon zest, and slight fresh herbs.
Drank nicely on its own, but could also go well with a fresh salad.
92 points.

please allow me to correct your spelling.. this is not DON like in Spain, but DOM (for Dominus) as you can see on the label and the Dom comes from the original name of Dom Pierre Pérignon, a French Benedictine monk who lived from 1638 to 1715. In monastic traditions, “Dom” is an honorific title derived from the Latin “Dominus,” meaning “Lord,” and is used to address Benedictine monks. Dom Pérignon made significant contributions to the production and quality of Champagne wine during his tenure as the cellar master at the Abbey of Hautvillers.
happy St patrick day
