Dom Perignon

Vintage Gift Boxed

Displays Dom Perignons signature finesse and elegance, the bright precision augmented by an added level of supple richness and generosity. Another brilliant 2012 vintage champagne. One for collectors and those that enjoy fine champagne.97/100 | Vinous: The 2012 Dom Perignon is a dense, powerful wine. I am almost shocked by its vinous intensity and raw, unbridled power. The 2012 reminds me of the 2003, but with more finesse and not quite as pushed. Mildew, rain and frost were challenges and resulted in low yields, something that was further compounded by warm, dry weather that concentrated the fruit even more. Those qualities result in a dense Dom Perignon endowed with real phenolic intensity. It is one of the most reticent young Doms I can remember tasting, I wouldnt even think of opening a bottle for at least a few years. (Originally published in May 2021)
