Description
Silky and beguiling, Dom Perignon is not merely one of the most beautiful Champagnes. It is one of the world’s most beautiful wines, period. With complex layering and ‘vinous’ texture that goes beyond the bubbles, this is a wine that doesn’t shout but speaks very convincingly in the glass. (A larger white wine glass would give this style room to breathe). A bucket list bubbles that is equally suited for enjoyment before or with a beautiful dinner. Exceptional!
What The Critics Say
98/100 James Suckling
“A driven and serious DP with aromas of chalk, biscuits, apricot stones and lemons. Some spice and dried flowers, too. So sleek and sophisticated. Elegant. Yet, it’s long and powerful, with a sharp minerality. Tight and precise. Reminds me of bottles from the 1980s, such as 1988. It really takes off. Disgorged October 2021. Drinkable on release in January 2023, but better in a couple of years. A DP for the cellar.” Drink 2021 – 2050
96/100 Decanter, Tom Hewson
“Silky, narrowly sculpted and serene, Dom Pérignon 2013 is a less hedonistic release than the 2012 (and less intensely energetic than the 2008), but showcases a beautiful mid-place between tension and expressiveness already. Orange-coloured fruit – apricots, mango and orange – play along with snappy lemon syrup and delicate red fruits, the palate teased into considerable detail and length with some trademark Dom Pérignon smokiness. There is immediate pleasure here, although cellaring will let some of the inner complexity unfurl, revealing this to the among the finest Dom Pérignon releases of recent times. 51% Pinot Noir, 49% Chardonnay.” Drink 2026 – 2045
