Dom Pérignon
Brut Champagne Blend
Champagne, France
#AgedWineTuesday
Pale lemon in color.
Light nose of citrus fruits, minerals and light yeast.
Medium-bodied with high acidity.
Dry on the palate with limes, grapefruits, green apples, brioche, earth, light yeast, minerals, spices and herbs.
Long finish with limes and herbs.
This is a very tasty Champagne, albeit still young. Elegant and rich with nice complexity. Crisp and refreshing.
Didn't love it right out of the bottle, and needed 45 minutes of airtime to open up properly, so be patient.
I've had a few different vintages of this Champagne, and always enjoyed it.
Needs 5 years to mature properly, and will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years.
A blend of 51% Chardonnay and 49% Pinot Noir. Aged for 8 years on its lees.
12.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$275.

Lean and bright. Light and mineral with real precision. Quite austere. Should age really well

Nov 3rd, 2022Super dynamic. Lemon oil, striking minerality and great fine acidity. Sweet edges and loads of structure. Agreed she’s. Great.

At the Dom Perignon dinner last Friday night. David Cross from Moët Hennessy who presented on the night said that this was the first showing of the 2012 in Australia. More intensity and power than the 2010. David thought the 2012 will be the better wine (a definite future P2 star) but the 2010 the better wine to drink now. Almost like a very good white burgundy with a little bubble.

This was after midnight on New Years, so no formal rating. Rich, yeasty nose. Powerful musk. First Dom I’ve had and unfortunately was too well oiled to glean any notes of merit. 😅
