Vintage 2013 Gift Box

Dom Perignon Vintage 2013 reveals a harmony sculpted by time: the elegance of clarity. In a year marked by alternating extremes, Vintage 2013 reconnects with a glorious legacy of late harvest vintages. The impact of two expanses of excessive rainfall with a period of drought in between varied according to the specific terroir, while most of vineyards in the Champagne region were benefitted from chalky soils. The chardonnays revealed their full splendor, expressing the pure elegance while the pinots noirs revealed a precise acidity and a distinct firmness. The delicate nose unfolds in swaths of color. The green of eucalyptus, mint and vetiver, the yellow-orange of mirabelle plums, apricot and orange blossom, the brown of pepper, cardamom and licorice sticks, and finally silvery saline and toasty hues. The mouthfeel is elegant, expressing luxuriant simplicity and precision. The finish is dominated by a salinity that leaves a deep sensation of consistency.
