2012 Dom Perignon
Produced only in years that the House believes reveal the true character of a vintage, Dom Pérignon is one of Champagne's most iconic prestige cuvées. A blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from the finest Grand Cru vineyards, aged extensively on its lees to create a Champagne of extraordinary depth, precision and longevity. The hugely impressive 2012 Dom Perignon bursts from the glass with a vibrant minerality and delivers gorgeous mouth coating creamy chalk, apple pastry, citrus and a light smokiness. Beautifully complex, this is only going to get better with time...
"Incredibly complex nose of dried green apples, grapefruit pith, preserved lemons, toast, oyster shells, cloves, sourdough, salted caramel and quince. Layered, refined and so sleek, with salty minerality and a toasty edge to the dried citrus. Structured and tense, yet elegant and almost endless. Drink or hold." James Suckling
