Winery & Vintage Info
Dom Pérignon 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 Pérignon.
After at least eight years of elaboration in the cellars, the wine embodies the perfect balance of Dom Pérignon, the Plénitude of harmony.
For Dom Pérignon, assemblage is paramount in the champagne elaboration process. Starting with the vine itself, this is the creative gesture that draws on contrasts and paradoxes, contradictions and synergies through intuitive and inventive research to reveal the true nature of each vintage.
The 2013 winemaking year proved a welcome reconnection with the glorious past of late-harvest vintages. After a cold, wet winter, spring was grey, quite cool and extremely rainy. The hot and dry summer that followed – the sunniest on record in the Champagne region – benefited the quality of the grapes. The resulting harvest of restrained pinot noirs from the Montagne de Reims and splendid, elegant chardonnays from the Côte des Blancs has been expertly blended to elevate the grapes' different characters and strike the optimum balance of full-bodied flavours and acidity.
