Dom Perignon Champagne 2013 - France
Vintage 2013
Nose
The nose is delicate, enticing with its richness and complexity. Scents of eucalyptus, pint and vetiver combine harmoniously with fruity notes (mirabelle plum, apricot, orange flower), spices (pepper, cardamom, stick of licorice) and also iodine and grilled notes.
Palate
A creamy and airy attack comes before an elegant, precise and silky palate, with a saline and enduring finish.
In essence, Dom Pérignon exists only as a vintage wine, to bring out the nuances of a single year's harvest. Dom Pérignon Vintage is made from an extremely rigorous selection of the best grapes from illustrious Champagne terroirs. Depending on the quality of the vintage, Dom Pérignon chooses to declare the vintage or not. Dom Pérignon Vintage champagne reveals its full harmony after more than 8 years of ageing in the cellar.
The white champagnes of Dom Perignon tend to reveal beautiful aromas of almond and cocoa on the nose, followed by a burst of white fruit and dried white flowers. At the end, this champagne reveals its maturity through the elegant toasted notes and a hint of spice rounding out the finish.
Dom Perignon owes its name to the famous monk and cellar master of the Abbey of Hautvillers in 1668, Pierre Perignon (also known as Dom Perignon). According to legend, it was Pierre Perignon who first discovered what is now called the Champenoise method. According to this anecdote, Perignon taught this method in 1669 to the Benedictine Thierry Ruinart, allowing Maison Ruinart, to become the first Champagne House in 1729.
Dom Perignon is a celebrated Champagne house, whose foundation was inspired by Pierre Perignon's quest for the ultimate perfection in Champagne. Keeper of the estate’s prestigious brand image is the LVMH luxury group, now headed by Dom Perignon, joined by other prestigious houses such as Krug, Ruinart, Veuve Clicquot ou encore Moët & Chandon. The values upheld by the Champagne House today are hard work and intuition, observation and understanding, knowledge and respect – the same values embodied by iconic cellar master Richard Geoffroy. In addition to its rich aromatic complexity, the wines of Dom Perignon are distinguished by their structure and texture, which give each vintage a unique, precious and inimitable character.
