2010: THE CHALLENGE OF THE VINTAGE
2010. The winter was harsh, the spring dry and late, the summer hot but not excessively. After a decade of particularly sunny weather, this freshness was surprising. Then, two days of deluge stopped this ideal trajectory. In a few days, botrytis developed on the grapes, especially on the Pinot Noir.
This triggered a race against time. The grapes were not yet fully ripe, but a decision had to be made – and quickly. Dom Pérignon used all its resources to draw up a precise map that verified the maturity and state of health of each individual plot. Every minute counted.
The experience put into practice in this situation has allowed the Maison to save excellent plots of land cultivated with Pinot Noir. The challenge was accepted and won: Dom Pérignon has declared a Vintage literally "saved from the waters": Dom Pérignon Vintage 2010, the fruit of intuition and mastery.
THE NOSE
The sweetness of tropical fruit shines immediately: green mango, melon and pineapple. Then more temperate notes emerge: the tingle of an orange peel, the mist of a mandarin.
The wine breathes and its freshness is revealed. The flowering after the rain. A tactile sensation of peony, jasmine and lilac.
THE PALATE
The wine quickly reveals its full, rich, intense character. An interesting maturation and a tactile sensation follow the aromatic experience. On the palate the material takes shape, generous, decisive, controlled. Then it strengthens, making the wine vibrate on spicy and peppery notes.
The energy lingers, leading to a magnificent saline finish.
