This was the start of serious changes in Quinault

Moet & Chandon, Dom Perignon Legacy Vintage:2008 (50+ year old vines)The 2008 Dom Prignon continues to show very well, offering up a pretty bouquet of Anjou pear, fresh peach, citrus oil, fresh pastry, smoke and iodine. On the palate, it's full bodied, lively and incisive, with an elegantly textural attack and a creamy core of fruit that's underpinned by a bright but nicely integrated spine of acidity. The finish is long, saline and well defined. As I wrote earlier this year, this is the finest Dom Prignon since 1996,
