The refinement and aromatic richness of an exceptional vintage champagne
The vintage
2012 was a vintage in which particularly variable and difficult climatic conditions impacted the vineyard. Marked by episodes of frost, winter gave way to a spring of successive frosts, heavy rainfall, hailstorms and a sudden drop in temperatures during flowering. The hot and dry climate of the summer, especially in August, was optimal both for relieving sanitary pressure and for promoting the ripening of the fruit. The grapes harvested between September 10 and 26 revealed a perfect balance between tension, freshness and richness. Despite the low yields, 2012 was a great vintage for champagne.
The blend
This Dom Pérignon Vintage 2012 is made from a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
The tasting
Nose
The complex nose combines floral (white flowers) and fruity (apricot, plum) aromas with a beautiful minty freshness and subtle smoky notes, leading to a tasty minerality.
Palate
The precise and generous palate reveals a lively effervescence. Over the course of the tasting, the palate exudes aromas of ginger, tobacco and toast, leading to a tighter finish with good persistence.
