ON THE NOSE:
The nose is complete and fickle, a mix of flowers and fruits, followed by the union of vegetal and mineral notes. The bouquet is tactile, a discreet invitation to follow the powdery trail of white flowers, surrounded by the sweetness of apricot and mirabelle, to then arrive at the freshness of rhubarb and mint, up to the minerality of ash. White pepper.
ON THE PALATE:
Energy dominates the palate. After a pleasant opening, the wine quickly becomes vibrant and then literally explodes. The effervescence is rampant, the sensation is tonic. The finish, which converges on acidic and bitter notes, narrows and becomes penetrating, leaving its mark, characterized by ginger, tobacco and toasted aromas.
VINTAGE :
The unpredictability of the seasons of 2012, their authority and generosity, have composed a singular olfactory landscape of extraordinary variety. An unparalleled richness and diversity of fruits: in 2012, each grape variety, each region, each village, each plot of land has reached the peak of its potential, giving rise to a vintage that combines all the polarities.
In a marriage of intensity, contained tensions and extreme contrasts, the assemblage of Dom Pérignon Vintage 2012 reveals a singular structure, vibrant to the rhythm of a controlled energy, channeled by acid and bitter notes, which bursts forth and shines. An explosive harmony.
