Vinification:

The 2013 wine year continued the glorious past of late harvests. After a cold and wet winter and a very cool and rainy spring, the warm and dry summer was particularly favourable for the quality of the grapes. Dom Pérignon takes its time. No less than 8 years pass before the Vintage reaches the vision of perfection. During this time, it matures slowly, stored in the bottle in cool cellars, always in contact with the yeast. In peace and care until it reaches the harmony that will characterise Dom Pérignon forever.

Tasting note:

Medium greenish yellow, golden reflections, fine, persistent mousseux. Fine roasted aromas, underlaid with fresh peach fruit, white nougat, a hint of lime zest, very inviting bouquet, candied grapefruit zest and green apple in the background. Good medium complexity, juicy, yellow tropical fruit, subtle extract sweetness, mineral core and fresh structure, ripe grapefruit nuances on the finish, already well developed and drinkable, an emphatically lively vintage.
