Dom Perignon 2012

Dom Perignon is vintage only – In the darkness of the cellars, inside the bottles, each Vintage goes through a slow transformation in contact with the yeast. It takes no fewer than eight years of elaboration to reach a harmonious dialogue between the character of the year and the signature of Dom Pérignon. The champagne showcases a perfect equilibrium, and all the elements are present with great relevance, revealing the harmony. It is a promise, an invitation to enter the world of Dom Pérignon.

Dom Pérignon Vintage 2012 reveals a unique structure, resonating to the rhythm of controlled energy. Channelled by an acidity and bitterness that burst forth magnificently, it combines intensity, contained tautness and extreme contradictions.

With its precision and vibrancy, Dom Pérignon Vintage 2012 can pair in a fantastic way with the minerality and freshness of seafood. Vintage 2012 can also react with intense culinary sensations, such as spicy dishes, which are an interesting way to let the wine express itself.

“The 2012 Dom Pérignon has turned out very well indeed, unwinding in the glass with notes of Anjou pear, smoke, toasted nuts, freshly baked bread and crisp stone fruit. Medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, it’s still tightly wound, its incipiently fleshy core of fruit framed by racy acids and chalky grip, complemented by a classy pinpoint mousse. A touch drier and a touch less reductive than the 2008 out of the gates, these two vintages are clearly destined to be compared for some time to come; but at this early stage, my instinct is that the 2012 will have the edge in the long term. Drink 2023 – 2050.” – 96+ Points, William Kelley – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate (September 2021)

Nose:

The nose is full and varied, mingling flowers with fruit, then vegetal with mineral. The bouquet is tactile, subtly enticing us along a trail of powdery white flowers and nectarous apricot, followed by the freshness of rhubarb and mint, and the minerality of ash.

Palate:

Energy dominates on the palate. After a welcoming open the wine quickly becomes vibrant and then literally explodes with a surge of effervescence and a tonic sensation. Focused by acidic and bitter notes, the finish brings a penetrating tautness, marked by ginger, tobacco and toastiness.
