Champagne Dom Perignon Vintage 2013

Description

Dom Perignon is only released as a vintage champagne in years where the harvest has been exceptional. Each release is a creation that is singular, and unique and that expresses the character of the year and of Dom Perignon. After 8 years in the cellars, the champagne offers a harmonious balance.

Depending on the vintage the Pinot Noir in Dom Perignon champagnes usually dominates; presenting peach, raspberry, and dark cherry. The Chardonnay then adds a supportive layer that is chalky in texture and offers notes of pineapple, plum, and apple. This vintage release is made up of 51% Pinot Noir and 49% Chardonnay.
