The short answer
As of September 2026, merchants ask a median of £232 a bottle for Dom Perignon 2015 in 750ml bottles, from 10 merchant asks.
Dom Perignon 2015 marks a solar vintage characterised by dry heat, drought and phenolic maturity across the estate vineyards in Champagne. The release carries a critic average of 95.3 across 4 published reviews in this site's dataset, while Essi Avellan MW rates the 2015 Champagne harvest three stars out of five. The drinking window recorded for the wine spans 2024 to 2054. Merchants in our dataset ask a median of £232 a bottle for Dom Perignon 2015, and it has traded in 12 months of recorded history. Following the cooler, late-harvest profile of the 2013 vintage, cellar master Vincent Chaperon told Decanter that the 2015 drought created a lot of diversity within Champagne, and that its wines hold more freshness than people give them credit for. The result is a wine that demonstrates immediate generosity on the palate while preserving sufficient dry extract and mineral grip to reward decades of cellar maturation.
Critical assessment of Dom Perignon 2015
Dom Perignon 2015 entered the fine wine market backed by a critic average of 95.3 across 4 published reviews. Essi Avellan MW rates the 2015 harvest three stars out of five, blaming the drought for vegetal, ash-like aromatics that have become amplified in many vintage bottlings. Decanter reports that the release turns the tide on the reputation of the hot, dry 2015 vintage, with the house signature of smoky reduction toned down and a sense of maturity already evident.
Decanter's Tom Hewson credits the wine's consistency, even in 2015, to the choice and flexibility a vineyard of over 900 hectares gives the cellar master. For neighbouring years, the 2013 vintage holds a critic average of 96.2 and the 2010 vintage 95.1. Among cold-to-warm benchmark years, the 2012 holds 97.0 and the 2008 98.0.
Growing season and harvest conditions
Essi Avellan MW records a wet winter and mild spring in Champagne, then an exceptionally dry summer from mid-May onwards. Hot weather prevailed until mid-August, when the skies opened again, and fine, cool yet sunny weather followed for the first two weeks of a harvest that began on 29 August.
Chaperon told Decanter that while everybody compared 2015 to 2003, the analysis of the wines was closer to 2002, 2005 and 2006, and that near disgorgement the wine reminded him of 1995. Avellan likewise finds the 2015s better balanced for weight and freshness than the 2003s.
Market pricing and comparative vintage performance
Merchants in our dataset ask a median of £232 a bottle for Dom Perignon 2015, drawn from 10 merchant asks. The wine has traded in 12 months of our recorded history, and last traded at £125 a bottle in April 2026. An asking price is what a merchant publishes and a trade is what a bottle actually sold for, so the two are shown separately. For adjacent releases, merchants ask £208 a bottle (including duty and VAT where stated) for the 2013 and £226 a bottle for the 2017.
Mature benchmark vintages carry their own dated figures on the vintage chart. Merchants ask £229 a bottle for the 2012, which holds a critic average of 97.0, and £306 a bottle (including duty and VAT where stated) for the 2008, which holds 98.0. The 2015 suits collectors seeking a long-lived cellar asset.
Drinking window and cellaring potential
The drinking window for the 2015 vintage spans 2024 to 2054. This longevity mirrors the trajectory of other solar years, allowing the wine to deliver rich primary enjoyment now before developing secondary layers of brioche, hazelnut, and dried citrus peel over the coming decades.
Dom Perignon cuvees from sunny seasons tend to evolve at a steady pace, supported by the reductive lees ageing that characterises the house style. For comparison, the 2013 vintage carries a drinking window of 2022 to 2043, while the structured 2006 vintage spans 2016 to 2056. Cellar conditions should maintain steady temperatures between ten and twelve degrees Celsius to support this long progression.
