Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
A lively, saline acidity carried by more than eight years on the lees — the defining hallmark of the 2012 vintage.
Roundness
The generosity of the Pinot Noir lends a velvety texture and a well-rounded vinous flesh.
Power
A vintage of contrasts: contained energy, a dense structure and a pronounced minerality.
Length
A persistent, complex finish, marked by smoky notes and an elegant salinity.

TASTING NOTES

A golden robe with amber highlights, threaded with fine, persistent bubbles. On the nose, a bouquet of white flowers, ripe pear and toasted brioche, with delicate smoky nuances and a hint of candied citrus. On the palate, the energy of the 2012 vintage expresses itself in a perfect balance between incisive acidity and vinous flesh, leading to a long, saline finish of rare persistence.

Terroirs

Dom Pérignon sources fruit from Champagne's most emblematic grands crus — Hautvillers, Aÿ, Cramant, Avize. The 2012, a vintage of climatic contrasts, demanded a rigorous selection of the finest plots to express the fullness of harmony that lies at the heart of the house.

Dom Pérignon

About this house

Dom Pérignon is the prestige cuvée of Maison Moët & Chandon, created in 1936 and rooted in the legacy of Dom Pierre Pérignon, cellar master at the Abbey of Hautvillers in the seventeenth century. Each edition exists only as a vintage wine: if a given year does not meet the house's exacting standards, the cuvée is simply not produced.

After a minimum of eight years of development in the cellar, each Dom Pérignon is released at the precise moment it reaches its full expression. Chef de cave Richard Geoffroy, who oversaw the assemblage of the 2012 before passing the baton to Vincent Chaperon in 2019, has crafted a wine of absolute singularity.

The saline minerality and citrus notes of the 2012 are a natural match for citrus-cured salmon gravlax with fresh herbs.

The power and length of this great vintage pair magnificently with lobster, an unashamedly prestigious pairing.
