自1996年起Richard Geoffroy成為香檳王首席釀酒師，在今年初畫上完美句點。新任首席釀酒師Vincent Chaperon是在2005年開始擔任Richard Geoffroy副手，在這重要的傳承時刻，師徒攜手打造「香檳王2008年份香檳」，要向過往的傳奇與新世代未來致敬。2008年份香檳的能量細膩飽滿，具體地展現了出色平衡的葡萄特質，香氣繁複且明快，展現花香、柑橘類水果和遊走其中的茴香與薄荷韻味，巧妙的口感與香氣在味蕾間轉換，也讓餘韻更顯悠遠，甚至可媲美1966年的傳奇年份，征服所有香檳王的愛好者。

The 2004 Dom Pérignon is one of the more reductive, autolytic vintages of this wine to have been released in the last decade, offering up a toasty bouquet of pears, green apple, iodine, peach and smoke. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny textured and fleshy, with a sweet core of fruit, a fine mousse and a vinous profile. The 2004 is drinking well today: as I wrote earlier this year, between the rich, ripe 2002 and the powerful but racy 2008, the 2004 is an excellent but more classically proportioned example of Dom Pérignon.
