Description
The creation of the 2013 vintage reveals the resonance between the pinots noirs and chardonnays, between acidity and full-bodied. The 2013 winemaking year proved a welcome reconnection with the glorious past of late harvest vintages. The hot and dry summer was the sunniest on record in the Champagne region, proving particularly beneficial for the quality of the grapes. The blend consists of 51% Pinot Noir and 49% Chardonnay from the best grapes harvested from the 17 Grands Crus in Champagne and the Premier Cru of Hautvillers. After 7 years of aging on lees, the Champagne were disgorged in October 2022.
Tasting Notes :
The 2013 Dom Pérignon is a charming and elegant vintage for this cuvée. It reveals complex aromas of buttery pastry, spices, citrus oil, almonds, honey and, with aeration, a touch of smoke. The palate is medium to full-bodied, perfectly balanced, with a chiseled and tightly wound profile. The long, cool growing season has brought freshness and a delicate earthy note to the finish.
