Dom Pérignon P2 (Plénitude 2)

The same vintage, held by the house for about fifteen years and released again at a multiple of the original price — aging economics made explicit.

P2 is Dom Pérignon released after roughly fifteen years on lees. Because the house, not a collector, has carried the storage, the P2 release price captures the aging premium and re-prices the market for the original release.

What does this wine cost to make?Our estimate: $26–$89 a bottle

We estimate it costs about $26 to $89 to make one bottle of a wine like this. The price in the shop is far higher because the land is scarce, the name is famous, and many hands take a share on the way to you.
