2012 | D 98
What a magnificent bouquet for this Dom Pérignon 2012! Pastry, a hint of smoke and autolytic notes provide a compelling counterpart to eager yet elegant aromas of citrus (lime, tangerine and kumquat) joined by those of fresh fruit, herbs, liquorice, and menthol. There is even a refreshing note of ivy. The palate is tense, vibrant, and very fresh despite its impressive density, which meets its match with an unending finish.
2015 | JS 97
A super-complex Champagne with chewy tension. Aromas of coffee beans, lemon peel, burnt sugar, chalky minerality, barley candy and tarte tatin. Fine pinprick bubbles with flavors of lemon leaves, aspirin and Mirabelle plums, plus a touch of grapefruit bitterness keeping the tension. Zesty yet integrated chewy acidity and a medium body with a toasted finish.
About Winery
Dom Pierre Pérignon, a French Benedictine monk, set out his vision to "create the best wine in the world" when he became Cellar Master at the sacred Abbey of Hautvillers in 1668. Dom Pérignon dedicated over 40 years to this mission, employing a visionary spirit and daring approach to the wine making process. Over that time, he became known as the "father of champagne" for laying down the fundamental rules for the traditional Champagne production method (La Methode Champenoise or Traditionelle). A favored wine of the Sun King Louis XIV, Dom Pérignon himself compared his wine to "drinking stars".
Dom Pérignon: an absolute commitment to VintageDom Pérignon's commitment to vintage is absolute. Each Dom Pérignon is a true act of creation, made from only the best grapes. The champagne's intensity is based in precision, so inviting, so mysterious. Each Vintage has three Plénitudes, and embodies the total faith in the creation that is constantly renewed by Chef de Cave Vincent Chaperon. Coupled with a bold sense of playfulness, Dom Pérignon inspires the greatest creators in the world.Made only from the best grapes grown in one single year, each Dom Perignon's Vintage represents a harmonic balance between the nature of the year and the signature of Dom Pérignon. After no fewer than 8 years of elaboration, each vintage emerges complete, seamless and tactile. Dom Pérignon Champagne is made through an assemblage of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, created by using only the best grapes harvested from the 17 Grands Crus in Champagne and the Premier Cru of Hautvillers.
Winemaker Notes
The 2013 winegrowing year was marked by striking contrasts in climate, starting with a particularly cold spring, followed by a prolonged period of hot, dry weather that lasted until the end of August. When the harvest began on 7 September, in brilliant sunshine, the vines were impeccably healthy, revealing the exceptional generosity and balance of the grapes. This vintage aromatic wine promises a remarkable aromatic richness, capturing the unique essence of the year.

2000 (PRE-ORDER) | JS 97
Fresh, lively, and luxurious. It boasts a "second energy" compared to the original 2000 vintage release, showing more depth and complexity.
2002 (PRE-ORDER) | V 97
Described as "Dom Pérignon squared," noting its intense concentration and initial austerity.
2003 (PRE-ORDER) | VIVINO 4.7
2003 was a notoriously hot, dry, and difficult year in Champagne, marked by a severe spring frost and a record-setting August heatwave. This led to early, highly concentrated, and low-acidity grapes, making it a daring, bold vintage.
2004 (PRE-ORDER) | V 97
The 2004 Dom Pérignon P2 is now entering its first plateau of maturity, where the first notes of aromatic development are present. Hints of marzipan, lemon confit dried flowers, mint, spice and baked apple tart lend notable complexity throughout. Soft contours add to its open-knit, creamy personality.
2006 | V 99
Described as a "total stunner" and "dazzling," noting its incredible complexity and explosive finish.

Winemaker Notes
The 2009 Dom Pérignon Rosé is described as a radiant and generous vintage, showcasing the full potential of the grapes, particularly Pinot Noir, with its ripe, fleshy, and profound fruit characteristics. The wine offers a captivating interplay of aromas, including rose, orange oil, and saffron, which evolve into warm notes of red fruits like raspberry and cherry, complemented by darker hints of cassis and fig. The finish is marked by a sense of sweetness, with notes of gingerbread and licorice.

Winemaker Notes
Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs opens with an elegant bouquet of hazelnut, nashi pear, orange zest, and delicate floral notes of hyacinth, layered with hints of bread dough, Sichuan pepper, and subtle smokiness. On the palate, it is vibrant and youthful, balancing brisk acidity with a creamy texture, offering flavors of citrus, chalk, dried fruits, and pastry. The wine’s depth is enhanced by its long lees aging, giving complexity and finesse, while the finish lingers with spice, white pepper, and a refined mineral edge that promises excellent aging potential.
