The 1988 Champagne vintage is widely regarded as a landmark year — a season of excellent ripeness and natural acidity that produced wines of exceptional structure and longevity.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 1988 vintage in Champagne was part of the exceptional run of late-1980s vintages (1988, 1989, 1990) that produced some of the most age-worthy prestige cuvée Champagnes ever made. The 1988 is often distinguished by its precision and structure compared to the richer 1989 and 1990, making it the most classic of the trio — more austere in youth but developing extraordinary complexity with age. Dom Pérignon 1988 is among the most historically significant vintage expressions from the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeep golden amber, fine persistent bubbles. The nose delivers toasted brioche, almond, citrus peel, and the tertiary complexity of three-plus decades of bottle development — honey, dried fruit, and mineral depth earned through time. The palate is precise and structured, with ripe apple, warm spice, and the characteristic Dom Pérignon creaminess in an elegantly linear format. The finish is exceptionally long and mineral.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dom Pérignon, Épernay, Champagne, France\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vintage Brut Champagne, Prestige Cuvée\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1988\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.5%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/rare\"\u003erare spirits and wine at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow does Dom Pérignon 1988 compare to the 1989 and 1990?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 1988 is the most classically structured of the late-1980s trilogy — more precise and austere than the richer 1989 or the exuberant 1990.
