Tom Stevenson: 50% Pinot Noir, 50% Chardonnay; disgorged 2004; dosage <5g. The oldest vintage in the masterclass and disgorged before all the rest, the 1966 was the most magnificent Dom Pérignon we tasted, however stunning the others were. Despite having more toast than a full English breakfast, there was not even the slightest blowsiness here, with finesse outmaneuvering intensity at every twist and turn in the hugely complex labyrinth of aromas, flavors, and textures in this mesmerizingly beautiful Champagne.
