Dom Perignon

Dom Perignon Blanc Vintage 2013

Champagne 12.5% Vol. Alk.

After a year of capricious weather, the Dom Pérignon vineyard produced exceptional grapes in 2013. The blend of fine, fresh Chardonnay, firm, fruity Pinot Noir and elegant Meunier grapes has resulted in a magnificent vintage champagne, which will age exceptionally well. Intense, contrasting aromas lead to a multidimensional vintage, which the Maison describes as having “explosive harmony”. Complex acidity meets well-rounded maturity: this exciting coming together of two different types of grape is both challenging and seductive.

Tasting notes:

The nose: The bouquet is full and varied, with a mix of flowers and fruits, then vegetal and mineral. The bouquet is tactile, subtly drawing us into its wake. Powdery white flowers with the sweetness of apricot and Mirabelle plum. From the freshness of rhubarb and mint to the minerality of ash. White pepper.

The palate: On the palate, energy dominates. After an inviting opening, the wine quickly vibrates and then literally explodes. The effervescence is gushing, the sensation invigorating. Channeled by the acids and bitters, the finish tightens and becomes penetrating. It leaves its mark. Ginger, tobacco and toast.
