Tasting notes
The evening comes to a rousing end with the 1964 Dom Pérignon Œnothèque, which is refreshing and striking in its beauty. Perhaps because it is served after so many Rosés, the 1964 Œno comes across as quite bright, especially for a wine of its age. Hints of pear and jasmine linger in a Champagne that impresses for its depth, and above all, its freshness considering it is now more than forty years old. This is one of the best bottles of 1964 Œno I have had. Disgorged 2012.

The 1964 Dom Pérignon Oenothèque (disgorged 1999) is quite a bit richer and deeper than the 1962, with more of a roasted, honeyed character that is striking in its beauty. Disgorged in 1999.
Another of my favorites was the 1964 Œnothèque (capsule label, believed to be a late 1990s/early 2000s release). This vivid, richly-textured Champagne offered incredible delineation in a boisterous, extroverted style for a wine of this era. It was fabulous.
We finished with what turned out to be a relatively delicate, forward bottle of the 1964 Dom Perignon Oenothèque. Apricots and flowers informed a long, sublime close.
