Description
History
Dom Pérignon is Moët & Chandon’s vintage-only cuvée produced only in exceptional years. The 2013 vintage featured a cold winter, rainy spring, a warm but breezy summer, and a late harvest which achieved aromatic ripeness while retaining freshness. The Magnum was disgorged in 2023 after long lees aging to enhance texture, depth, and expressive capacity. Chef de Cave Vincent Chaperon oversees every phase to maintain Dom Pérignon’s style: purity, mineral tension, and harmony between bottle and grape.

Tasting notes
Elegant nose of stone fruit (yellow plum, apricot), citrus peel, white flowers, toasty brioche, almond, light honey and a smoky/mineral nuance. On the palate it shows vibrant freshness, bright acidity, creamy texture, solid depth, with a refined finish marked by salinity and long persistence.
Food pairing
Excellent as a high‑end aperitif; pairs superbly with fine shellfish, raw fish carpaccio, sashimi, dishes with caviar, soft aged cheeses, or delicate desserts featuring citrus or almond. Serve chilled at approximately 8‑10 °C.
