Dom Perignon Brut Vintage 2010 1.5L

Description

Dom Perignon is vintage champagne only. Each vintage is a creation, singular and unique, that expresses both the character of the year, and the character of Dom Perignon. After at least eight years of elaboration in the cellars, the wine embodies the perfect balance of Dom Perignon, the Plenitude of harmony. In 2010, winter was rigorous, spring dry and late. After a particularly sunny decade, such freshness was surprising. Summer was hot, but not excessively so. Then, two days of diluvian rain brought this ideal trajectory to a halt. In just a few days, botrytis mold developed on the grapes, mainly on the pinot noir. The luminous sweetness of tropical fruit – green mango, melon, pineapple – instantly shines. It then cedes to more temperate notes, the tingle of orange zest, the mist of a mandarin orange. The wine breathes, revealing its freshness. The bloom after the rain. A tactile sensation of peony, jasmine and lilac. The wine immediately imposes its ample presence, full and massive. A sappy sensation dominates as the tactile is rapidly overtaken by the aromatic. The body unfolds: generous, firm and controlled. Then it contracts, letting the wine vibrate with spices and pepper. The energy is sustained to a scintillating, saline finish. The creation of Dom Perignon Vintage 2010 took equal parts mastery and humility. I hope it never ceases to inspire you. – Vincent Chaperon, Chef de Cave The Finer Details Style – Champagne Varietal – Chardonnay, Pinot Noir Country – France Region – Champagne Vintage – 2010 Bottle Size – 1.5L ABV – 12.5%
