Dom Perignon has recently introduced the first Oenothèque series, in this case the 1995 vintage champagne, first released in 2002. The seven-year-old original has been packaged alongside its 13-year-old fraternal twin. But tasting the two Champagnes side by side reveals that it’s not another limited-edition gimmick.The Dom Perignon Vintage 1995 has more vim in its microbubble, with honeyed biscuit notes; the lush Oenothèque 1995 has refined its flavor to a smoky, peaty depth, with a creamy fullness that is years apart.

The vertiginous Oenothèque champagne is priced at $550 for the two bottles and available at Crush Wine and Spirits
