Dom Perignon Vintage 2013 75cl.
The creation of the 2013 vintage reveals the harmony between pinot noir and chardonnays, between acidity and corpulence. The precise, elegant and tactile bouquet blooms in a very delicate grainy aromatic braid around three nuances: first, citrus; then, a more vegetal facet; and, finally, spices. This precision reveals a simple and evident elegance where the wine, after an ethereal attack, amplifies and flourishes before giving way to an indescribable sensation of clarity. Pairs fantastically with acidic fruits or vegetables such as citrus, green tomatoes, sorrel or rhubarb.

Description
PREPARATION
Grapes: 54% Chardonnay, 46% Pinot noir The 2013 wine year turned out to be a pleasant reconnection with the glorious past of late harvest vintages. After a cold and wet winter, the spring was grey, quite cool and extremely rainy. The vines began to sprout about two weeks later than the average for the decade, a delay that lasted until the harvest. The hot, dry summer was the sunniest on record in Champagne, proving particularly beneficial for grape quality. The early September rain quickly gave way to easterly winds that kept the grapes healthy until they were picked. Tasting the fruit revealed a promising balance between acidity and structure.

It is elegant on the palate and expresses luxurious simplicity and precision. The refined and silky base is accentuated in the heart. The finish is dominated by a salinity that leaves a deep sensation of consistency.
