Critics’ Praise:
James Suckling (98 Points):
A driven and serious Dom Pérignon with aromas of chalk, biscuits, apricot stones, and lemons. Accents of spice and dried flowers add complexity. Sleek, sophisticated, and elegant, yet long and powerful, with sharp minerality. Tight and precise.
Wine Spectator (96 Points):
Vivid acidity and a chalky foundation create a crystalline frame for finely detailed notes of ripe melon, mandarin orange, toasted brioche, and candied ginger. Expressive and expansive, this harmonious Champagne combines finesse and restraint. The long, creamy, mineral-laced finish adds to its allure. Best enjoyed now through 2037.
Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate (95 Points):
Disgorged in October of last year, the 2013 Dom Pérignon reflects the cool, long growing season. Aromas of crisp stone fruit, tangerine oil, buttered toast, pear, almonds, and honey enchant the senses. Medium to full-bodied, its bright acidity and seamless texture deliver a pillowy profile, culminating in a long, saline finish. Winemaker Vincent Chaperon highlights the impact of an east wind before harvest, which preserved the integrity of the fruit and allowed for full maturity.
A Champagne Worthy of Celebration
The 2013 Dom Pérignon continues the legacy of excellence, showcasing remarkable finesse, vibrant complexity, and extraordinary aging potential. It is a true testament to the artistry and precision of one of the world’s most revered Champagne houses.
