Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
Lively, taut acidity — the hallmark of a radiant yet late 2012 summer over Champenois chalk.
Roundness
The concentrated solar ripeness of the vintage delivers a dense, enveloping fruit character.
Power
Medium-full bodied and deep, underpinned by a remarkable calcareous mineral backbone.
Length
An interminable finish with accents of fine chalk, candied citrus and brioche — the hallmark of a truly great vintage.

TASTING NOTES

The colour is pale gold with green highlights, enlivened by an exceptionally fine and persistent mousse. The nose opens on Anjou pear, white blossom and toasted brioche, giving way to smoky notes, citrus (lime, kumquat), menthol and fresh herbs. The palate is taut and vibrant, with a striking freshness that belies impressive density, crowned by a finish of exceptional length.

Terroirs

Dom Pérignon draws on elite plots across the Montagne de Reims and the Côte des Blancs, marrying the depth of Pinot Noir with the chiselled minerality of Chardonnay. The late yet glorious summer of 2012 — warm and dry from mid-August onwards after a difficult spring — concentrated the berries on chalky soils to yield a vintage of rare completeness.

Dom Pérignon

About this house

Dom Pérignon is the prestige cuvée of Maison Moët & Chandon (LVMH Group), produced exclusively as a vintage wine since its first commercial release in 1936. It pays tribute to Dom Pierre Pérignon (1638–1715), the Benedictine monk of Hautvillers Abbey who pioneered the art of blending in Champagne.

Each vintage is declared only after a minimum of eight years of cellar ageing — and certain harvests are never declared at all, should the standard of excellence not be met. Since 2015, Chef de Caves Vincent Chaperon has carried forward the vision of absolute harmony that has made Dom Pérignon one of the most celebrated prestige cuvées in the world.

L'acidité vive et les notes fumées du champagne font écho aux agrumes et herbes du gravlax, pour une entrée d'une grande délicatesse.

La richesse et la longueur du millésime 2012 trouvent leur égal dans la chair iodée et beurrée du homard, accord prestige par excellence.
